On Sunday, I Ran A 5K! I did it for A Good Cause – Ovarian Cancer Research. Ever since Supermodel Cindy was diagnosed with The Disease, I have been thinking of ways I could do my part to Help. While shopping a few months ago, I saw a flyer for This Particular 5K and though it would be Perfect. All The Proceeds were going to fund Various Ovarian Cancer Organizations.
Of course, The Last (and Only Other) 5K I had run previously was on Thanksgiving, 2005. I Hadn’t Trained a lick for that one and managed to Run Most Of It. This time around, I decided I could Run All Of It. Naturally, I didn’t Train one iota for this 5K, either. Who needs to Practice?
But, Run, Run, RUN I did! Now, Totally Awesome Boyfriend happens to be An Amazing Runner. He Actually Trains and has run Three Marathons, which I find Totally Awesomely Impressive. Totally Awesome Boyfriend told me he thought I could finish in Under 35 minutes. So, I had Two Goals: Finish In Under 35 Minutes and Run The Entire Thing. The Whole Length Of The Race, I thought of Totally Awesome Boyfriend Cheering Me On, telling me I Could Do It! And, of course, I thought of Supermodel Cindy. And My Ovaries. I was So Determined to Achieve My Missions.
And guess what?! I did The 5K in 31 Minutes, 27 Seconds and I Ran The Entire Thing! Goody for Me and Goody for Ovarian Cancer Research! Of course, today, I am In Pain. My Calves Ache. My Legs Throb. My Arm is Super Tender for some odd reason. And My Boobs are Really Killing Me. Also, I think I am Ovulating.
Well, Those Last Two Issues probably have less to do with Running A 5K For Ovarian Cancer Research and much more to do with It Just Being That Time Of The Month.

Way to go, The Daily Randi! I don't know what your bf says, but I bet next time you can do it in under 30 minutes. In the meantime, he should massage your calves, legs and arm. The boobs go without saying.
Michael:
If I didn't know any better, I would think you were Flirting With Me. My T.A. BF isn't going to be Happy. I'd watch out if I I were You -- He may Run You Over!

P.S. You're Hot.
Wow, congrats! That's incredibly impressive. (And, um, sorry to interrupt the banter...)
Congratulations! That is fantastic stuff.
Congrats Randi, very impressive and for a good cause. Good for you! How is your friend Cindy doing, btw?
