Ran the races..woo-hoo!

It's been a long time since I've blogged...eep! After the Run Hit Wonder, I took a week off from running and then the week after that I was sick. I pretty much kept up training by working out on the elliptical machine :) I know it's not running but it's a lot easier on the joints.
The Run Hit Wonder race was a blast. However, running 5 miles, not so much fun but at least I finished. I was happy Mike was taking his time and stayed with me to help me to run. He had an injured knee and he still could beat me to the finish if he really wanted to.
Today I did the Bucktown 5K. What really sucked was that my IPod went wacky the night before and I couldn't figure out how to fix it. I think it's working alright now, but the battery was low before the race. I was kinda nervous about this race because it was being timed. I think i did alright for me. My time for running the Run Hit Wonder was about 1:14 (it's excluding the stop at the port-o-potty and watching the bands) and my time for the Bucktown Race was about 44:00. Overall, I think i did better this race in time. Woo-hoo! Hopefully I'll try to keep training, at least for the next couple of months. :)
