Sore Feet

Sooooo tiiiired!

Yesterday I ran/walked the "Relay for Life".  It was a bit on the lame side.  It was only 12 hours instead of the expected 24 and there was a lot of bad organization. I'm really glad I did it, though. I love doing things for a good cause. I've been wanting to volunteer at an animal shelter for ages but can never seem to get myself motivated enough, especially after a long day at work followed by a workout.  This was really nice because it allowed me to multi-task. I was getting a good work out, spending time with friends, getting to know my new co-workers, and, of course, helping a good cause.

It was awesome! Normally it's sooo hard to motivate myself to exercise, no matter how badly I want to look better in my bikini ^.^ So something like this event was amazing because there was so much energy it really made me want to get up and do something active; plus any time I started getting tired and want to sit down, I'd see some cancer survivor or group of little kids or old ladies trucking around the track still full of energy and I'd get a whole new burst of motivation and drive and end up doing sprints all around the track.  I probably did a good 3-5 miles without even noticing.  I was sore this morning though...

Probably didn't help that I was sprinting in flip-flops...

Or that I'd been up for 24 hours by the time it was over and hadn't been getting much sleep for a couple nights before that cause I was busy making team t-shirts for the event...

Oh my gosh I feel so motivated!!!  Now I just need to hold onto this feeling and make it keep me going for another week or so.
