Baby's First Global Running Day

I guess today is Global Running Day. Had I known earlier in the day I would have pushed my treadmill run to a 5k in honor. But. Dinner smelled really good and I was happy I did my requisite half hour after wanting to quit today after 15 min... 

Because I've never "run" or "been a runner," I have no idea on the culture or things or like how anyone knows it is Global Running Day. I only found out about this because someone at work posted it in Slack. 

So I shared my contribution to mark the day. I work with some serious runners. Marathonners, under 10 min. mile people. Jerks. But they're very supportive and loving. I appreciate that.

One of my friends posted on Instagram that she "ate shit" on her trail run today, and added pictures of her cut up hand and her completely swollen knee. We chatted and I sent her the pictures of when I also ate shit a couple weeks ago. She said as long as we're all better by August for the Guster 5k, that's all that matters. Yes indeed friend. I'm worried about her knee though. Oooof. Knees are important, but, she's 35. She'll bounce back. 

Nothing substantial to report. I was happy to get that in today because it was a busy one, I tells ya. Maybe next year I'll have a better grasp of the celebration and get in a bigger contribution. I started out the run in an under 13 min. mile pace but got tired and ended up walking the last 10 minutes. So I wouldn't have done a 5k anyway. Not at all. 

The image below is to mark the pace, and see where we are next year. Who knows. Mark your calendars.
