Yesterday was Volkslaufe. Let me start off saying that my awesome big 5 year old (!!!) ran the 2k without stopping & was just over 11minutes! She got a ribbon and a giant t shirt but her favorite thing was the popsicle at the end of course :) I ran it with her, and she is such a badass little kid.
Ok, the 5k. A 5k is 3.1 miles. BUT in Frankenmuth it's 3.2! I KNOW my Garmin is accurate. And I hugged the corner of the course, and wasn't all over the place or anything out of the ordinary. My time was 20:29, but my Garmin clocked me at 19:40 when I crossed the real 5k mark. Also, the 2k was short. That wasn't as big of a deal, since it was a kid's race, but c'mon people! errrrghh I am still very frustrated. Last year, I wondered why my Frankenmuth time was like a minute slower than any other race I ran. That might be why. I'm done with that race. It's not worth the $51 I spent for the both of us. Laaaaaaaaaame.
Sunday I'm doing my first back to back race! a 5k first, then a 10k an hour later. It's gonna hurt, but I'm anxious. I'm gonna "race" the 5k, and see how I feel for the 10.
My little sister is gonna run for the Mott XC team this fall and that makes me such a happy lady! Tomorrow's her first practice, I'm gonna run with them. After that, I'm cutting the cord and she's on her own ;) She's doing really well though. She's training for the Warrior Dash & the Crim (which my daddio is coming into town for!!)
Speaking of the Warrior Dash, since when did everyone and their brother become interested in adventure type obstacle races? Totally not my thing, but I'm excited to watch her & my cousin (& everyone & their brother) rock it out.
