Mary, Rocki and I ran the Midnight 5K in St. George this last weekend. We had been signed up for months. That day I ended up going to the Doctor because I was not feeling well. I had swollen tonsils, lymphnodes, chills and body aches....NOT GOOD! I have to get my tonsils out...BOO! (Not what I was looking forward to this summer) So, he gave me antibiotics and said it wouldn't do any more damage to run the race, but I would feel real crappy!! I couldn't just not finish, so I wanted to run....and I DID FEEL CRAPPY! I was so looking forward to doing this race and I was not happy that I wasn't feeling well at all. DANG! But, I tried to forget how I was feeling and enjoy it as much as I could.
We got this sweet glow in the dark stuff!! But, we were party poopers and took it off before we ran, I did a quick warm up jog and it was driving me crazy with it on.
It was so dark sometimes I couldn't see anything at all, just running in the dark hoping I didn't trip and then sometimes I was blinded with lights that they had throughout the course, my body was just tired and not good and half way through I thought I might pass out...haha... it was crazy!
I finished with a time of 29:46
Overall: 228 out of 625 people
101 out of 402 women
24 out of 79 in my age group
I'm just looking forward to improving.....
We went on to Cedar afterwards where the rest of our families were sleeping and Artie, the kids and I had to wake up early and go to Orem for my Let's Play Music Training. I was hoping I would feel much better the next day...haha, but I was exhausted! Oh well- it was a fun experience! Now on to the next one!! :)
