1st run, in a long time

i signed up for the torchlight 5K today while at work. i told a friend that i would do it with her. she reminded me of it via email today. dangit! so after work, i walked over to REI and paid the $20, got my number and t-shirt, and signed up. around 8pm i thought i'd better go for a 'test run.' i haven't run, or really done ANY SORT of vigorous (and yes, a 5k is considered vigorous right now) since my bike accident nearly 7 weeks ago. so, i went for a run. i did 5 miles in 56 minutes. i used to that run in 40 minutes. oh well. i ran FIVE miles. a 5k is only 3.2. yay! i'm ready for wednesday. oh, and special thanks goes to grace potter for getting me through it ;)
