The 10K Run & A Day Without Chocolate  This Morning was the Hospice Care 10K Chocolate Chase with a Chocolate Festival Afterwards. I registered for the Run but I was too late to buy tickets for the Chocolate Festival. I haven't run a 10K since College but in many ways it was a much easier run than the Celtic Knot 5K Run that I did last month. I decided not to stress out about the timing and Start the Jeff Galloway Training Schedule afterwards. This is a Walk/Run Combination. It's a good thing because I observed that most of the runners were youngsters from the local Osteopathic College. We were running across 219 and I observed a very flatten dead possium in the road. I jokingly told the officer directing the traffic. - "This is what I am going to look after finishing this run. Shortly afterwards, I fell on my azzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. The advantage of having a well padded azzzzzzzzzz is that when I fall on it, all I have to do is get back up again. I am not sure if it was comforting or humiliating to have an ambulance following close behind us. I found it humorous. I was running/walking with a young woman who talked about her weight loss journey and the set backs. I shared my own experiences. I thought it was great that the young woman was not concerned about timing, she was there for her own goals. It is better to have set backs, keep trying and making progress versus giving up. She expected to finish the run in two hours. We both made it in far less time than that. We finally made it to the finish line. I couldn't buy chocolate so I went to the Free Show - Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I bought a tub of unbuttered popcorn with a Latte instead. Next Month is the Greenbrier River Trail Bike Trek for the American Lung Association. This is a Hundred Mile Trek that will take Three Days. It should be fun. I am definately packing chocolate on that trip.  Abracadabra  |
