Over the weekend I got a new pair of running shoes, and I honestly can’t remember the last time I spent this much money on any article of clothing, much less a pair of shoes! Here’s a quick pic:
New shoes, new treadmill, new records
My first (real) 10k
Yesterday I ran in my first (in my mind) 10k. Why do I add the qualifier of “in my mind”, you ask? I’ll tell you. In mid-April, I participated in the Kansas Marathon 10k race. That was technically my first 10k. However, after I finished, I found out that the actual route was more than 2/3 mi. short of actually being a true 10k! Needless to say I was a bit disappointed.
2 down, 28 to go
I meant to write this sooner, but that’s life. Last week, I knocked two items off my 30 by 30 list. I went to eat at a little hole-in-the-wall cafe called the Little Saigon Cafe on the recommendation of my friend Brian.
30 by 30
Inspired by this post, I have decided to create a "30 by 30" list of things that I want to do before I turn 30 in a little under a year. I’ll keep this post updated as the year progresses, and we’ll see how I fared next March.
Getting back on the horse
So I’ve slacked off quite a bit lately. I haven’t posted to the blog since before my first 5k in January. Since then, I have run in two 5k’s and a 10k (sort of). I promise to catch up on the results of those races (along with the promised pictures from the polar plunge in January) over the next few weeks. Hopefully I can get back into posting on a semi-regular basis.
