In addition to lots of new tacklings in cooking and baking, I've taken on running as well. Over the last year, I've casually run a mile here and there. Then I got the JogTracker app on my Android phone. I was pleased as punch to see my iPhone 5 came with the Nike running app already built in! It's pretty awesome.
This weekend, I will run my first 5K, and I'm really jazzed. I ran the course on Monday to get a feel for pacing and whatnot, and I bested the low-end of the time I allotted myself by 3 minutes, meaning I was 13 minutes below the high end. Major score!
So anywho, stay tuned for a summary and some pics from that. It's forecast to rain, so I'm just hoping the rain holds off until the afternoon. I just want my first race experience to be a good one. I got new gear, but will likely have to grab some more...some weatherproof stuff. Ugh.
So now I have two outlets. I run after getting home, which is a brilliant way to shake off a stressful day and just unplug from life in general. That plus baking makes me a happy, sane woman. And of course my amazing husband and theraputically adorable cat.
Until next time,
peace out
