June 10, 2010 Corporate challenge 3.5 race

I was at a social gathering tonight through work.  Corporate challenge 3.5 road race.  This is where different companies run, walk a race.  This is not an individual race.  I was with my friends from Buffalo General, whom I haven't seen in ages.  My friend Sue, who works in electrophysiology walked/ran with me.  We started at the 8 minute mile - yep!  We almost got trampled.  At least we weren't way back there and we finished in pretty good time.  She was about 4 minutes ahead of me because I couldn't keep up with her (talk about being out of shape but held my own).  I finished in 57.10.  If you take about 3 minutes off that time (due to being way back there and having to walk to the start line), then its 52.10.  Thats still not bad.  My hospital system had the most registrants (maybe not participants) there.  I had 3 of my co-workers (2 nurse educators and 1 other admin assist) there.  I didn't see Sonja there at all.  I wonder what happened.  Will find out tomorrow at work - I think she should have never went home. Maybe something happened to her. 
There is a breast cancer walk/run this saturday morning.  I am not sure if I will go but I could change my mind in the AM.

turns out Sonja\'s daughter got sick. The weather has been so up and down here (one day its 70 the next day its 50). Feeling ok except for my upper thighs are killing me (not calves). Gotta get out there and make it a regular thing.
