running..a story of legs and noses..

I am so proud of my sister. We ran our first 5k together this weekend. This was my second 5k and her first ever. She has only started training this winter and I am so impressed with her time of under 34 minutes!!

On the down side, we have both come down with major head colds and have another 5 k to run this weekend.

Sunday we both woke complaining of sore throats. I'm not sure where we picked up the bug but we had been out shopping, out for dinner and then a movie the night before, so really it could have come from anywhere. Those didn't stop us from trying our best during this run. The cold air gave quite the lung burn during the race, but again, it didn't hold us back.

Currently, however , it's all I can do to get my backside off the sofa. My head is throbbing and my nose is running and the sneezes are endless. I'm a hot mess.

It's okay to run with a box of kleenex,

right??
