TRAIL RUN

Here is my story…

To be able to make it to the run in time we had to spend the night at my parent’s. We didn’t go to bed until like 12 a.m. I kept waking up to sirens and ambulance sounds… AHHHH I hated it so much. I did miss my peaceful nights in the country where nights are noise free. I didn’t sleep much I was so upset. I just could not go to bed, Then around 5 in the morning I realized why it was so loud, well we had the window open… Ahhhhh and the cold breeze got to my throat and It was so scratchy, but of course I was too lazy to get up and close the window so I just sat there until 6.a.m. and then 7a.m. and then we finally got up and got ready and headed to the park. We made it to the park around 7.30, not bad for an 8.00 a.m. race.. Well we went to the kiosk and got our package. I missed the size question on Luis’ registration so some how he received a “S” oops… well as I was getting ready I saw nothing but real runners.. I was like ummm… Great.. no walkers… so they announce the the run would not start until 8:30.. Great more time.. I just wanted to get it over with.

Well so, we start the race… and here I go… I start jogging.. doing good… Start getting towards the end.. still jogging…. Jogged… Jogged… and Jogged… I was like “I got This” Suddenly I see a 2mile marker. At that time my heart just crushed in to pieces… I said “Two Miles” “Two Miles That’s it, are you kidding me, I am not even half way.. “ It just brought me down. From that point and on I was very disappointed, but my Luis kept pushing me forward. We had to go up HUGE hills… My legs were killing me. To make the story short I was able to finish. I finished in 1.16 minutes not bad for a beginner. Well I kind of gave up after I saw the 4 mile marker. I was so happy because I knew that I only had 1.5 miles left, so I slowed down a bit, and when I knew the finish line was close I was just happy and dint really care about running faster.

The whole thing about me beating luis did not work out the way I wanted it to. As soon as we saw the Finish line he slowed down… It kind of made me upset because I didn’t want him to give it to me. I wanted to beat him. He said he just wanted to see my reaction after I closed the finish line, that’s why he let me go first. My reaction was “Where is my free fruit and now let’s go home”

So we went home, Mom had made us breakfast.. It was soo good.. got in the shower, got ready for the wedding we had to go.. I was feeling fine…

Here is the fun Part!!!!

Sunday morning I wanted to cry.. I could no move my legs an inch off the bed.. I was so sore I could not even roll to the other side… yeah!!! Let’s just say was able to make it from the bed to the bathroom and then back into the bed… That was basically my schedule on Sunday, Oh yeah I was able to walk myself to the kitchen of course. Luis made hamburgers.. .yum… (I will never be to sore enough to NOT make it to the Kitchen)… I have never been so sore in my life.. I gained like 3lbs of muscle. Actually that’s my excuse for gaining weight this week. My Sunday was horrible. I wanted to do so much but all I could do was laugh at my pain. Luis was the same way.. We were like two baby goats trying to learn how to walk… Sunday was a very interesting day. But I did it and I earned 15 points on the Trail run Series… yeah, GO ME! I got 5th Place in my Category… “GO DALILA GO DALILA GO DALILA” Should I mention that there were only 4 others in the same category!!! Oh well Luis got 7th place in his… I beat him!!!

Ok well that’s my story… I will definitely do it again next year to see how much I’ve improved. I am also doing another one in July in Cumming.

I used Ingles shopping cart to do the Groceries.!!!!

Well gotta go… Take care….
