I totally kicked butt in the 5k yesterday. Besides beating my personal goal I also beat 3 guys I work with which was an added bonus. Training makes a heck of a difference! Haha. Last years time was 31:11 and I creamed it with (chip time) 27:06. My runkeeper time shows 26:56 and I like the sound of that a lot better. The hills are killer, San Francisco worthy, and I didn't walk once. My pace was something like 8:45 per mile which is astonishing for me.
Jelena and Gladys did great! Jelena ran it under 31 and Gladys was right behind me at 28 or 29 minutes. They both really enjoyed it and I think I got Gladys hooked on it too which is super sweet.
The feeling of accomplishment after a race is indescribable. The prerace jitters, the feeling as you cross the start line, overcoming the pain during, and then the joy once its over. Theres nothing like it!
It was pouring rain when I left for Manhattan Beach and I prayed hard for at least an hour of no rain so we can run it and it was clear the while time! A lot of people bailed cause they thought it was cancelled. Only the truely dedicated had the guts to do it rain or shine.
The rest of the weekend had been relaxing. I saw the movie Shutter Island with Sheets last night. It was a trip, I liked it. Friday I watched Julie and Julia with Jelena. We cooked an delicious spinach spaghetti, veggie and cheese concoction and enjoyed the movie.

Today, I finished some quick house cleaning and I might wash the car. It's still too wet to plant my flowers. That will have to wait for another weekend (so bummed). We are getting so much more rain this year! Next weekend it's supposed to rain too.
I think I'll just cuddle in the pillows with this little guy for now...
