Thanks for the comments about the race. The Corporate Challenge is a fun though extremely packed short race. Normally in Boston the race is 3.5 miles, though this year because of construction near Kenmore it was shortened to 3 miles.
This is usually a really slow race for me. It is really hard to dodge all of the other people, runners and walkers both, when you want to increase your pace even just a little. I'm getting better at it, and hopefully next year I'll have mastered that special sideways step that will allow me to maintain something approximating my normal race pace.
Of course, the running culminated with a couple of other athletic endeavors, leaving me pretty tapped for the moment (my body is starting to tell me things again) and lunches like today's banana and cereal aren't likely to make things better. I'm crossing my fingers that I'll survive till I get home to make something a bit more robust for dinner. I'm hoping for stir fry veggies and tofu over soba noodles. Shouldn't take too long!
Saturday I watched Wall-E after a round of stupid running tricks. I met a friend and ran with my backpack on. Even an extra 8 pounds made a huge difference in how well I felt like I was moving! But all wasn't lost. I did get to Windsor Button to buy the ribbon for my Frog Camisole. I didn't squeak the finishing in before the end of June, but I have all of the pieces and should hopefully get that done over the long weekend!
A long weekend that couldn't happen too soon.
