Running for cookies

I started running last winter. My first race, The Frost Bite Run, was a 5K, which I actually finished. Most races, as I have come to learn, have great snacks for the runners. This particular race gives each runner who finishes a big chocolate chip cookie. Ah, here is motivation I can get excited about! My training mantra was, “I’m running for the cookie!” And it was a good cookie!!!

My most recent 5K was the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning where I ran a perfect race … without a cookie! I think I’m hooked.

I’ve been reading a great book titled “Running and Being” by the late Dr. George Sheehan. It is a very inspiring book about life and running. Check it out. Even if you don’t run, you’ll get lots out of it.
