So, yesterday Lauren and I went through the course for the Jingle All the Way 5k that we will be running tomorrow. We were of course, running during the day so we had to stop for traffic lights and such, so we were able to take breathers in between. We did okay until we got near the Palmetto Pig and we decided to walk because we were feeling pretty spent. We walked up to the Collesium and then I suggested that we run again since we were about to go up the big hill on Greene Street. After calling me a jerk, Lauren agreed to run (hahaha). We chugged our little hearts as hard as we could up that hill. Before we reached the very top of the hill, I said, "Ok, we gotta stop." If we hadn't been in public, I probably would have laid down on the ground right there.
After that ordeal, my calves were hurting and we decided to walk back up to the Health Center where Lauren works. On our way back there, we ran into Dow and convinced him to come run the 5k with us.
I picked up my running packet today and am excited (i'm runner # 1 ;-) ), however I know it will be challenging. I'm glad I haven't gotten super competitive with this yet. If I feel the need to walk, I will walk. But I am going to try. Now, I'm about to make some pasta so I can get energized ;-) I went out and bought all kinds. So, Run, Everyone, Run! and if you're not running, come and watch us, and if you're too lazy to come out, watch us on TV (WIS). It should be interesting.

Loved it! I'm glad I ran into you the other day to find out about it. It was a perfect day. You have me seriously considering joining in with you for the Cooper River Run. That would be fun. But just wanted to let you know I really enjoyed it as well as the good meal afterwards. We deserved to get that good food!
