We Finished!

Yesterday was our 10K and we finished in one hour flat, which is a rousing 9:41 min/mile pace. Given that the wind going out was brutal (30 to 35 mph gusts) and that, if not from the front we faced side winds, coupled with a couple of stomach cramps (me), I will take it. And hey, it was the first ever 10K for M and only the second for me. We ran the entire thing and finished together.

And perhaps most importantly, had a great deal of fun as well. We ended our day with a trip to Augusta and Defiance where we checked in on a couple of wineries. We considered paddling but passed because of the wind and because of my shoulder.

I should explain that I have “frozen shoulder.” M and I took Jake for a walk a few weeks ago. I had Jake in my left hand and Jake saw a bunny. Jake took off after the bunny and pulled me down. The brunt of my fall was on my right arm/shoulder and now, it seems, that shoulder is frozen. I start physical therapy tomorrow night and will, I hope, be in great shape to paddle in a few short weeks. At least, that’s how I think therapy should work.

Now I am in search of a 5K after the half-marathon because K has expressed an interest and gosh I would just love to run a race with her. I think – think – think – think she might be starting to catch the running bug. I would so love if one of my girls would run.

As for the house and home, it’s been pretty neglected, but it is spring and things are starting to bloom and I am thinking garden. I’m sure there will be photos coming soon.
