Two Noteworthy Items

A couple of really great things happened to me over the weekend. On Saturday, I ran my very first race, a 5K for Friends of Night People. I'm not a runner and had never run that far outside so I was NERVOUS the night before. I woke up on Saturday to a cold, foggy day and my spirits were pretty low, as were my expectations about how I'd perform. Thanks to my running mate, Kristin, I made it the whole way without one step of walking!!!!!!! I did it in just under 33 minutes, which is by no means fast but perfectly acceptable. Next up, a 5 mile race!

The second marvelous thing to happen was that Sunday was the nicest day we've had all year. It was sunny, in the mid-sixties and the flowers were in bloom. I sat outside and read for hours. Now, while this is all very well and good, the amazing thing is that I GOT A SUNBURN! In April! Usually, I don't much care for sunburns but this was notable since I finally feel like winter is over and spring, glorious spring, is here!
