Knee Deep in the Hooah!

I am getting excited about the Veteran’s Classic tomorrow. I know a 5K is not a big deal at all to seasoned runners, but this is my first and it’s a great honor to get to run with Veterans and for them! Oh, and guess what? They are calling for flurries here today! FLURRIES! I am not very conditioned for running in Arctic like weather, so we’ll see how well Claire does. Maybe the cold will encourage me to keep moving or maybe even move faster!

I am coming to realize and own the fact that I have to run for endurance or for speed. I can not do both yet. I am much like Gimli the Dwarf (LOTR). I am good at sprinting, and very dangerous over short distances, but cross country is lost on me.
