On Thursday, I was supposed to see my orthopedic doctor to hopefully get the green light to start running again. Unfortunately, we had a showing and the house needed to be in tip top shape, never mind that it was 5 days after Christmas and that we are only about a week and a half before the movers come to box things up. I had to vacate the house with kids and dogs... so I rescheduled the appointment until next week.
In the meantime, I've been running (cough cough) and it has been going well. So much so that I decided to enter my first race post injury. The first annual DAC New Year's Eve 10k. You can't pass a race when it's a mere 5 minutes from your house. Well... maybe I should have because it was in the low 30s and the windchill definitely made the real feel below freezing. COLD stuff!
The race went great, I hit a wall around 5 miles but I pulled myself together and finished in 48 minutes and something. They didn't have numbers and definitely no chips but they did the "I hand you a card when you pass the finish line and you fill it out" kind of deal. I'll be curious to see what my official time is.
Non-the-less, I managed to finish 4th overall female and 1st in my age group, 26-35. I'd definitely run this race again, it was fun!
