The *I didn’t spontaneously combust* 5k

Today I ran the Faith Run 5k with my friends at a neighboring city and I didn’t explode or catch on fire. Maybe because I didn’t wear my “Heathen” shirt. I’m nice like that.

It was hot, humid, humid, humid and a lot of fun. I even got to see an old co-worker, Bill, who I hadn’t seen in ages. How fun is that. I tuckered out after finishing mile 1 in 7:51. Official 5k time: 28:06. I’ll take it, but I know I can go faster.

I’m pretty sure I’d die before I crossed the finish line if I attempted something called the “Faith” run.

You ARE living dangerously…aren’t you?

I dream of running a 5K in under 30…Congrats!

Nice one Susan. I’ve got you pegged for a sub-25 when you get a cool, dry, dry, dry, not sam hell humid day.

RUNNER Susan (emphasis added since this is/was a running blog) has a way of always looking good, be it stylin’, running or writing.

Ahh, running in Texas. Wait until the fun days of August. I remember one summer where the low temperature was like 91 degrees. It was 99 at midnight. Good luck!

A 7:51 first mile?! Wow!! All of that yard work and spinning your wheels has kept you in great shape.

What is this “running” you speak of?

Can you use it in a sentence?
