For most of the participants it was a run. I on the other hand did the Asthma-Attack for the Cheetah or the Hork Up a Lung for the Cheetah, two of the lesser known events, but always favorites. I felt like such a rock star after Nike. Today, not so much, but its ok. This was my kick off to summer training! "So, you feel like crap today, eh? Just you wait!" was something of my mantra today.
Thanks to my love of animals, I was not going to bow out of today's spatz around Papago Park at seven something this morning. It was encouraging parking my car next to a few IronMan competitors. (It reminded me of my friend, Elaine, who just completed IronMan for the first time this year and I quote, "Ironman sucks." As she crossed the finish line! But she made it all day swimming and cycling and running.) I was not going to sleep through the Run for the Cheetah, an itty-bitty-kitty 5K. It was a beautiful morning (minus the crap air) for a jog-walk-jog. I have no idea as to my time, I left before it was posted. And that was never that important. First, it was the cause. Second, I was getting out again. I bet I'll be feeling it tomorrow…
