Lee's Place

so this morning i woke up at 6:30, picked John up and we went over to Lake Ella to run the Lee's Place 5k. we got over there around 7 because Danielle told us the race started at 8 (and we still had to register and everything). well we got there, and no one was there. so we went into Lee's Place and asked where registration was and they were like "wow you guys are early." apparently, the race actually started at 8:45. but we registered anyways, and they gave us our numbers and stuff. so then we were just sorta hanging out, and they were organizing t-shirts. the tshirts were only for the people who pre-registered, but since we were there so early, they let us have one anyway. :-)

met Danielle and others a while later. ran the race. fairly flat. couple laps around Lake Ella and through the neighborhood behind Lake Ella (off Meridian.) i ran a 29:58, which definitely isn't my personal best, but after not running for over a year (and a year ago i only ran the mile at springtime), i think that was pretty good.
then afterwards headed over to Paradise Grill and Bar and had like a buffet breakfast. and got goody bags. Gene Deckerhoff was there and did awards. and then we left.

i might have to start running on the weekends now, after realizing how out of shape i am. :-\ maybe it'll even like clear my head and de-stress me some.

now i still have 2 days full of work ahead of me, but this morning was good. i'm glad i went. i think if i didn't i would feel very lazy and like a complete couch potato.
