Vacation 5k and running

On Sunday I ran the Egg and Keg 5k in Nashville! Talk about a crazy day. We got into Nashville at about 2:30am and was up and ready to run at 6:30. I was super tired but it was a great run. I would however like to talk with
Nashville about their definition of a flat course. I think that need to speak with us Chicago natives about what flat means. It was a very hilly course. I ran it in 29:34- so no complaints here. It was not a PR race but they can't all be!!



Vacation has been great for running. I ran 7miles the first day I was here and it felt amazing, today I ran 5 this morning and walked 3 this afternoon. The weather is so beautiful and the scenery is unreal! I have however had to face my fear birds.....I encountered about 25 redheaded turkey vultures....nasty for the chick that hates birds! Not only did I see gigantic killer birds I also saw alligators!! It is amazing how speed increases when I freak myself out with the thought of being chased by a gigantic gator and my eyes being pecked out by a killer bird :) so far vacation had been amazing and much needed!

My biggest accomplishment so far has been while eating at Olive Garden I did not have any pasta or breadsticks ..for those that know me know how I heart my carbohydrates
