Telegraph 10K

Yesterday, I woke up not really wanting to run, but thankfully I have a boyfriend who knows that I would have been pissed at myself had I not run the race and he pushed me out of bed.

There were a lot of participants this year! I was really happy to see that these races keep expanding. I was not feeling my greatest however, because of being sick and the allergies, but I gave it my best and finished in just under an hour. Going up Telegraph wasn't that bad actually. I got to the top and looked around...breathed a sigh of relief and made my way down the hill. After making it back to the meadow loop the last thing I wanted to do was go around Stacey's loop...ugh, but that's the way of it, so there I went. I walked a lot around that loop! Until I made it to the downhill, then I trudged my way through it, all the while trying to catch up with two girls ahead of me. I caught them about 20 feet from the finish and sprinted in for under an hour. I was happy with that. I just hope these allergies go away soon so I can breath and do well in the next race which is an ass kicker. It goes up hogsback and down the other side. Craziness!

So today I am going to do a trail run after work at 3ish. I haven't talked to anyone who's running today so it will probably be a solo run. My next race is May 25th...a 5K. I'm hoping to be feeling a heck of a lot better by then! cross your fingers.

Good job to everyone who raced the Mother's Day Telegraph 10K yesterday!!!!!
