not elite, barely passable

I ran the Santa Monica 10K awhile back, on October 19th.  Castor and I, registered as elite runners because the site that we registered on had a glitch so we couldn’t register for the proper group.  In any case, we both ended up with low numbers and a bright red bib to declare our uber eliteness to the world.  Sadly, I am incapable of running 6.2 miles in 28 minutes.  My goal was simply to be in the 52-54 minute range, which would be a 5-7 minute improvement from the Nike Human Race on August 31st.  Unfortunately, I ended up with a time of 56.10.4.  Now, I have excuses at the ready for my lackluster time, such as the 20k we ran earlier in the week or what not, but in the end it was simply a disappointment on my part.  Luckily, now that the race is over, training has been scaled back, and my legs feel good again, with the exception of a troublesome left hamstring.  Hopefully, if things continue to progress, a marathon in 2010 won’t be out of the realm of possibility.  In any case, I’m just happy that I’m healthier than I was at any point since high school. o.O

Anyways, I’m going to try to make a concerted effort to update this blog.  Perhaps post a few of the things that Castor and I giggle incessantly about.

P.S.  House is a wussy.  I demand Huddy.  And yes, I realize how girly I just sounded.

P.P.S. I really wish I could change the pinkish reddish link colors on this theme.
