3rd Annual Sweat Your Thorns Off 5k

Every loves a race…and a free one is even better.

I sweat yesterday morning running 3.5 miles (and I mean sweat). So I wasn’t going to run today but I decided to stop off on my favorite bike trail on the way up to Lake George.

The original plan was to run long. For me, long means 4-5 miles.

Those plans got derailed when I had to work yesterday. My hubby went up to the lake and I was left to pack everything. I also got home late from playing Mah Jongg.

So by the time I got up, packed and got to the bike trail, it was almost 10 am. (And I promised my hubby that I would be at the marina around 11:30 am.)

It was also almost 90 degrees with 90% humdity! Yikes!!

Well, at least the trail was shady. I felt really energetic for the first time in a long time! (Darn it…if only my boating friends weren’t impatiently waiting for me…).

The run was a nice one inspite of the heat. I’m no Usain Bolt but finished my virtual 5K race at 33:48! A respectable post ankle injury finish time.

I then drove up to the lake in record time!
