Fun Saturday run!

I decided to try a new route today, and ran some paved and unpaved trails to the park where I had the 5K race last week. It was really scenic and peaceful, running through the woods and around the lake. I'll have to go there again.

Black Hill 5K Half and Half

I ran my first race in over 7 years today; it was a hilly, half-road, half trail run in a park near my house. I was so nervous at the beginning that I thought I might throw up, but in the end I did better than I expected (apx. 31 minutes), especially considering that I've only been running again for a month or so and am getting over a cold. I'm still waiting for the results to be posted, but I think I was 6th in my age group (women 40-49), and 103rd overall (in a field of about 200).

It looks like the GPS is underestimating a bit, probably because there aren't enough data points. A nice record, though.

Yay me!

I finally collated all the pictures from my Thailand trip in June/July and put them on the Web:

I'm back

After my initial resolve to start a blog, it didn't really go anywhere. I think that, after Fergus died, I didn't really feel like coming here for a while. However, I'm now ready to try some new stuff, so we'll see how it goes. No promises.

First, I should mentioned that I've started running again. Very. Slowly. However, I did a cool thing with my iPhone on my run this morning and I want to try it out:

Pretty cool, huh?
