Sore buns and Sunday runs
Just returned from running the 24th Annual Schlotzsky's 5k Bun Run. I finished in 27:30.
My time was 57 seconds slower than last year, but given that I'm not running 5 days a week like I used to, and I've had an injury, I feel pretty good. And my ankle didn't hurt. Am I finally healed? Overall it was a good time. I love a races. Good energy, good exercise, and good shwag (bagels, powerade, bananas, cookies, and potato chips; how anyone could eat a bag of potato chips after running 5ks is beyond me, but people were doing it!).
Today was also the London Marathon. The BBC has an entertaining as-it-happened commentary, including this snippet about celebrity runner, Jade Goody:
0932: Distressingly Jade Goody, of Big Brother fame, has just revealed to Sue Barker the most she has run is half-an-hour on a treadmill in training. She revealed her training regime involved eating Chinese and Indian food as well as boozing. Her biggest concern is that her toenails will fall off!
