Race Report & Random YouTube

Got out of bed at ass o'clock to run the Strawberry Stampede 5K (3.1 miles) this morning. It was damn cold out, which is supposed to be better for running, but I HATE being cold. My goal was sub-28 minutes, and I finished in 27:23, so that was good. I was planning on leaving as soon as the results were posted (it was an electronic chip timed race, so they're up pretty quick) but lo, and behold, I finished 2nd in my age division! This was more from lack of competition than my blazing speed of course, but I'll take it. So I hung around for a few more minutes so I could get my pretty medal on a ribbon. Now I'm tired. :-)

This has been posted about the flist, but if you haven't seen it, it's worth a gander. I know there are a couple of closet Kelly Clarkson fans out there.

A. I am so not in the closet about my Kelly love. In fact, I think I might need an icon. That's how out I am! That was FANTASTIC.

B. Congrats on the race! You runners blow my mind with your motivation. Seriously. Also, those electronic chips blow my mind though. I wore one for a breast cancer walk I did a few years ago, and I just don't understand how they work. Magic. It's my only explanation.

You were one of the people I was thinking of! ;-)

The link up there explains the chips in gory detail. I had no idea how they worked either!
