Crazy Cat and Another 5K

Yesterday Mango slept ALL day in front of the DVD and VCR players on the floor. The TV is on top of these on a low table. WHY????? There is no heat coming from these units. He was just curled up there all day. Yes.....it was a nasty, cold, rainy day.
At 9:55, he moved - and tried to get up on top of these units!!!!!!
He stayed there for half an hour before moving to Johns' lap - where he usually spends his evenings.
He has never been in this "hiding place" before - guess he just HAD to do it!!!

Today he is back covering the heat register in the living room.



This morning I did my second 5K - The Run-A-Monk to benifit Woldumar Nature Center. It was 42 degrees, windy and rainy - but I wanted to do this.
There were about 100 others there - some for the walk, some for the 5K and a few for the 10K.
I was going to walk - but did some run/jog along the way - to get out of the elements faster!!!!
I came in 4th in my age group - behind a trio of "real runners" - on the Playmakers running team, think sleek running bodies, fancy running attire, etc.

I was 5 mintues faster than my first 5K.

When I got home I took a warm shower and have my large MSU hoodie on.

I'm proud of myself - I did it!!!!!!

I signed up for another - probably in the snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good for you! I'm not sure I would be out watching you in the weather we are experiencing today (snow on the ground - brrrr!).
