Neither of us were there to race, so it was enjoyable to just go and have fun. Unfortunately, my allergies got the best of me and I ended up panting the entire 3.1 miles. I am thankful for Eryn, who stuck with me the whole time. On any other day that wasn't gloomy and humid, we could have done better. My allergies prevented me from breathing properly most of the way, so I had to take it slow.
Last night, Eryn and I went to the Taylor Swift concert. After sitting in the wrong seats and blaming it on the girl next to me, we moved to another section. The section we ended up in was much better. I'm glad we moved. :)
We were both disappointed with the concert. I have been to over a dozen concerts and this was the worst, but the most expensive (now tell me how that works.) Anyway, she didn't talk to the crowd between songs much, over exaggerated every move she made on stage, and sounded horrible. She put on a good show, with a lot of effects and what-not, so it was not a waste of time by any means. Plus, I love singing to music, no matter what its quality may be, so I still enjoyed myself during the concert.
Since today is Memorial Day, Eryn and I had the day off. After driving to her to work to find the fitness center was closed, we drove back to our apartment. Our last option was running outside in the 80 degree weather. Once we got started, it wasn't so bad when we took it slow. But by the end, we were both a mess nobody would like to see.
I was also more sore than I expected to be today. I am rarely sore because I run daily, so a 5K would have been nothing new for me. But that's okay, I persevered.
What an awesome word. Perseverance. While running today, I realized that is one thing I struggle with in life. Starting something and completing it all the way through, regardless how hard it may be. Running has helped with this, so if I continue running, maybe I will become persevering in other aspects of my.
