So, not many of you know, but I talked a whole bunch of people into signing up for a 7k in Basel this weekend. Which of course then meant I was obligated to run it, too. But we had so much fun (apart from the heat wave that took us all by surprise). I've been running every Mon-Wed-Fri with two Moms in town and have been feeling pretty good lately, so I was pretty pumped come Sunday morning. We successfully navigated our way through the industrious part of Basel, got our numbers and sent our stuff in a huge truck across town to wait for us at the finish line. Here we are still pumped up before the race.
Here we are a little more exhausted after the race. The two women on the far left were my running buddies. During our "training," our best time was somewhere between 48 and 50 minutes (we had conflicting watches), so we were shooting to definitely be better than the 50-minute mark. Somehow, the adrenaline did its thing though, and we all came in just shy of 43 minutes. Hooray for the happy feelings we had!!!
So right now I'm online looking for another race in the near future. Why is this so addicting?!
