Can you say 'Awesome?'

I signed up, on a whim, to participate in a 5k race today. I 'ran' it (if by 'running' one means jogging until I ran out of breath and walking until I got it back again) in under 30 minutes. And I came in 2nd in my age group--without even trying. How cool is that?

And just to make things that much more better, my book was in the mail today. My book. With my name on it and everything.

Awesome.

That will be all.

Very cool! All of it's very cool :) We wants piccies of the precious...

I on the other hand have somehow managed to twist my back and need to spend time in bed, drugged out my head :( [I'm only here 'cause I'm updating my iPod.]

Heh. A likely story. Next you're going to tell me you can stop any time you want to.

On a serious note, that really, really sucks about your back. Have you tried heating up a bean or barely seed pillow and putting it on the strained areas. Sounds stupid, yes, but I Japanese doctor did it for me and it was LOVELY. Anyway, hope it clears up soon!

Of course I can stop anytime I want to!

I have two wheatbags that I use every month ;) They are lovely and do a wonderful job with the aches, but this needed a muscle relaxant too. Unfortunately I'm also running a fever - a virus the doctor says - and am weak and sick as a kitten. I have things that need to done, and have had enough of bed for now, so I'm planning on taking it very easy and napping as required.

XD i admire anyone who can run that long (completely unpatronizing pat on the back)

Thank you, but remember I didn't run all of it by any means! (I'm still a wuss compared to the kids who are serious about this stuff.)
