First of all the treadmill is set up and not broken!!! Yay! The part I'm still a little hesitant about is, is that it has a slight incline and that bothers my knee so I hope it doesn't become a problem. It amazes me that a little thing like that can make the workout much harder, but I'm hoping that ultimately it helps with my conditioning. I remember Coach Alan telling me that when you work on an incline, it can help with running on a flat surface. Time will tell. I will still be making up stories, even while training inside. I'll just turn the TV on something like Maury or Jerry Springer and that can make for some very interesting posts. When the weather permits, I still love training outside. Holy cow, did those words just come out of my fingers! So odd how my views on things have changed, I just wish there weren't any bugs out there that enjoy biting me.
So, I am contemplating doing the Memorial Day 5K in Danbury. There won't be a ton of running, but there will be some. I really want to do it because the funds go to the Wounded Warrior Project and for those of you who don't know, my son is in the Army National Guard. He really holds the Wounded Warrior Project near and dear to his heart and if it's that important to him, then it's that important to me. I think I'll ask him if he'll do the run with me. I sent out an email asking if slow pokes were welcome at this race. If my son does run with me, I'm sure he will mock me quite a bit, but I also know he'll be very proud of me. He knows I'm always proud of him! This race takes place just before the parade so there will be many people lining the roads. I guess my constituents and friends will see me with no makeup on, all sweaty, with a baseball cap on and being kind of gross. I also hope no one gets too close to me when I'm all sweaty and smelly. I'm getting excited to do it now that I'm writing about it.
One more thing, it looks like I may be doing the Fairfield 5K in June. More to come soon on this subject.
