Flirt with Dirt

On Saturday I ran in my second 5K--Flirt with Dirt. Too fun. It was my first trail run, however, so it had some interesting elements to it. I shaved 2 minutes off my best time and didn't even throw up at the end. Was that too much info? Its just that sometimes working out really hard can have that effect and I certainly felt that way minutes after crossing the finish line. But I chilled out on the grass for about 20 minutes and the feeling passed. I downed a banana and headed home making it back to the homestead before 9am. How's that for a day's work. Really it was cool to be in the trees with the sun peaking through and the soft dirt beneath my feet, as opposed to hard concrete, very relaxing. That doesn't sound possible but it is totally the opposite of stressful for me and afterward its very euphoric. I think next time I would love to have someone cheering for me at the finish. Last time I had Andrew waiting for me and it just was incredible to see him cheering and smiling at me and I really missed that this time. I think I would have pushed even harder at the end--which was uphill!!
