Bloodied tooth

One very sore right calf, two moderately sore thighs and a slightly exhausted set of lungs later I have conquered my first race. Wohoo!! Apart from the torture of running and the stress not to drag my team down too far the internal ranking it was AMAZING FUN. Can't wait to do it again (having actually trained for it). Also it would probably make it less stressful not to be in a relay.
With your colleagues.

We were the last team (within my company) by about 10 minutes which would all be mine, everyone else ran it on 30 mins or so. But hey, it was my first race! No practice! I was proud as a mama cat. With a bloodied tooth. Eh. You get what I mean, right? (cannibalism not implied)

I still can't believe I ran a race. Ha! I could say screw you all my old gym teachers, but I think they were all pretty nice people, deep down. I mean, PE as an activity sucks, sports doesn't neccessarily. Sadly it's easy to draw an erroneous conclusion as an awkward, humiliated 15-year old. Well, better late then never. Sport doesn't suck!!!
