Goals

So I've been slowly training for this 5K of mine for a while now, and it's been just dandy. But I haven't really had a goal beyond finishing the damn thing. Well, today I found it. I am determined to beat Pippa Middleton. She ran a 5K recently in 25:30. I am going to beat her.

I may be insane but if there is one thing I have learned it is that I can meat some pretty insane goals if I push myself. 13 years in competitve swimming has to be good for something.

I'm also trying out running in different shoes to see if that will help with my shin splints on the recommendation of an avid runner I met at Disneyland. Yeah I've somehow become one of those people who can befriend people anywhere. I blame my jobs.

In other news I just moved, and keeping with the running theme it has made my routes much easier to track. Yay for large landmarks being closer to me.

And for those of you looking to join me in beating the royal bridesmaid here's her running her 5K:

She nearly ran into the topless guy. The pictures are pretty funny.
