Today was the Spring Run at the YMCA. My dad ran it with me, it was WONDERFUL!
Last November, I did the Fall Run, same course, and I finished in 32:42
Today, and this isn't totally official, but I finished around 28:55!!!!!!!!!!!
Not only did I set a new PR, but I broke the 30 minute time, and even got it under 29 minutes! That's 2 minutes off my last 5k, only 3 weeks ago!!!
I'm kind of in shock. And a little scared to match it or beat it at the next 5k on May 16!
Dad did a great job too, around 25:50 for the 5k and 57 for the 10k. He ran both. He's a superstar. Don't you love the vintage running t's? That one was from 1988... haha!
Then Dad left for Cincinnati, so I decided to go to the IU Baseball game where JJ is the Athletic Trainer. It was gorgeous out today, mid-70's, sunny and fantastic.
I stopped by Bloomingfoods for lunch, I grabbed some sushi, fruit and a ginger carrot salad, which was amazing, and I'll be re-creating soon!
To make the game even better, if the pitcher strikes out 12 people, everyone at the game gets a coupon for a free snack attack pack from a local pizza place, which includes pizza, breadsticks and soda (when we redeem that, I'll need to go for a long run.... but I love free stuff!)
Then I got home and took Pumpkin on a long walk, and she demolished her Easter present while I blogged :)
Best Day EVER!!!!!!!
