Reaching another milestone

Yesterday I did it again! This time I jogged 5 km in a womens race in Oslo called KK-mila. (KK is the name of a womens magazine). It was fun and unpretentious, and women in all ages and forms participated. I did make a tactical misjugdement though, placing myself way back in the crowd when the race started. I soon realized that I now had to pass hundreds of women who only planned to walk the distance. So I had to start zig zag around them to get ahead. The zig zag put a lot of exstra strain to my muscles, making the race a bit harder.

I ran the whole lap at 41 minutes, and are very pleased that I completed my first 5 km :) There was no medal this time, but we got a well stocked goodie bag, check what I got:


The bag and the proof of my participation - my number.


Hairspray, shampoo, toothpaste, food and a perfume sample.


Drinkingbottle, book, magazine, a make up bag, another bag for sportswear and a rain poncho.


And a nice, soft scarf.
Next Saturday I am entering another race, but I will not run the whole way. The race is 10 km, and it is too early for me to run so far. I will try to run for four minutes and walk for one minute the whole distance through.

Have fun sewing!
