# 3 for 12 in 2012....2 Virtual races instead of Black Cat 10.

I just couldn't get myself out of bed Sunday morning to go to Salem (not far from my apt). I needed to sleep and simply hang in my bed, drink coffee, and read. Ok so I read up on triathlon training and wrote in my "I Believe" journal. I made my decision.....NO GUILT! I'll use the Jamie's Birthday 3.4 run and Rissa's Spring Fever 10K as my #3 race for 12 in 2012.

As you can see I goofed on the Birthday bib. Jamie and I had a good chuckle. Thanks for being a good sport. You're still a youngster, and I do hope you had a nice day.

Once I felt rearing to run, I gathered up my clothes and set up my ifitness belt (see sidebar sponsor link.....see photo below) and headed out the door. It was COLD and WINDY, but once I got going in my seaside neighborhood, I was fine. No chica's for these runs but I did order a few new ones with a free one to boot! I was happy to have the ifitness single pouch belt. My neighbor asked me about it as she loves to travel!

Favorite hat from my first race in Jan.

Here's the time breakdown: 3.5 (ran .10 for good luck) / 32.22:14, and the Spring Fever 10K...a little slower.....1:00:04. Do you think I REALLY stopped there??? I finished up with a few more steps to make it to 12.2 miles. And so today I am nursing my hamstring, because yesterday's run(s) would not have been the same if I didn't incorporate some hills!!! Finally, let me say thank you to some new names I see on my follower list!
