Luckily, there was no web traffic as well as a smooth ride.

But, I have a huge surprise for you…
Last minute Ben chose to do the 5K! He’s been training for his very first 5K, however has been slacking off lately so we never chosen a goal race. He has not technically completed the couch to 5k program, however wished to opt for it!
So, this morning was full of double enjoyment as well as double the Camiseta Feyenoord pre-race jitters!
Once we got registered I discovered Bobbi as well as her buddies Suzy as well as Jackie. I’ve run with these women in the past as well as was extremely pleased to have running friends for the day.
The Redlands half Marathon is extremely very hilly. as well as Bobbi cautioned me that it’s impossible extremely challenging to pr here. I didn’t recognize exactly how true that was up until later, however chose to just run with the women as well as delight in it!
Bobbi is a truly hardcore runner. She won this race last year(!) as well as runs these hills all the time so she didn’t recognize they were killing me as well as I was believing poor words to her while running.
But, I believe we’re even since I made her run in the rain with me in San Francisco as well as it was truly ridiculous.
I completed with a time of 1:52:56 as well as was just pleased to be alive. The hills killed me as well as irritated my knee as well . I even walked a killer mountain at one point as well as a few aide stations, so I ought to be pleased my time isn’t worse. My knee as well as I may not be returning to this race next year.
In much more interesting news, Ben ran the whole 5K!!! Up up until today he his longest run was about 2.3 miles – as well as it was a run/walk. He didn’t take any type of breaks as well as did his very first 5K in 33 minutes!!! I’m so happy of him
Since he had to wait on me after the race he went into CVS as well as got some post-race food. Camiseta Stade Rennais FC Sure, you don’t requirement this stuff after running a 5K, however the truth is he’d most likely have eaten this if he Camiseta Club Tijuana was just spectating the race, so the truth that he ran is great.
Since we were in Redlands I called my BFF Cindy, who lives in palm Springs to see if she desired a visitor.
Turns out she was headed west anyways as well as we satisfied up for breakfast!
We selected a random diner off the freeway Redlands household Restaurant
While we waited for them I drank 4 cups of coffee. now I’m trying to type up this publish while shaking uncontrolably.
My preferred post-race lunch is a tuna sandwich with fries or onion rings.
The onions rings were to die for, the batter was perfection.
My preferred post-race breakfast is pancakes. I had both. Well, I pressured Ben to share the pancake with me as well as let him dominate it.
Our last minute dining business – Cindy as well as Jim
My typical dining company, Ben.
Then, we headed house to Orange County. It is beautiful today! I truly delighted in the drive.
Ben as well as I have a road trip organized for next weekend as well as this lil’ day trip made me extremely thrilled for it
I didn’t PR, however it was the hardest as well as many hilly race I’ve ever done! So, I’m pleased with my time.
Hope you’re having a fantastic day!
