Alpenfest 2010 5K , From running in D.C. along the Potomac River with Nicole., originally uploaded by Don Campbell Models.
Countdown to Alpenfest 5K 2010 – This morning Deb and I ran in the rain for the first time. We figured in 9 days on the morning of race day it could be pooring rain and I never ran in the rain . It wasn’t bad at all and it was actually fun when we got home we were both soaked but felt proud to run . There are so many excuses not to exercise everyday and rain is a good one. Todays picture is one of my favorites of Nicole and I running along the Potomoc River near Washington D.C.
I remembering hearing people say on tv that they were 50 years old and in the best shape of their life and I always thought , ya, right ?
You mean to tell me when you were 20 or 30 you were not . Deb and I have now been running a year and were still not in the best shape of our lives . We were the best shape in our 20’s and 30’s. But we are feeling better and better but it isn’t just because of the running . The running is only 10% of the battle as it is 90% eating healthy and in small portions.
We have not eaten in a buffet type resturaunt in over 5 years. We just can’t get excited about going back and filling your plate several times and then pile on dessert until you feel sick just to get your moneys worth . We used to go to those places and that got us in the mess were in today , ha,ha.
Nicole has been married to Bill now for 10 years , he was a serious bodybuilder for many years but Nicole never got into the exercise thing.
Now we are so excited she is fired up about running except she has to put it on hold a few months to have a baby. (:>). She says she loves running and will get back into it as soon as possible.
Mining Model Progress- I am busy working on the parts again today and should get more primed.
Have a great Thurs. !!
