So I went to Puebla this past weekend to run in the SimiPharmacy 10K race. What was I thinking? Is all I have to say. Lordie! I thought it would be a breeze, but if you've ever run with me you know I can run for a long time but REALLY, REALLY, SLOW, but my wonderful friends Michelle and Isabelle run like a lion is chasing them and my style is more like "oh look there's a lion behind me..hmmm..he looks hungry. I should probably think about going faster.. Nawh.. I'll just let him eat me it would be easier. I don't want to overwork myself." So long story short I tried to keep up with Michelle and that lasted for, I don't know MAYBE 5 minutes and I was running fast(for me) and then I was like screw it! That lion's going to have a good stringy dinner tonight. Pass the Tortillas and Salsa! What?!?! you don't believe I would be good with Tortillas and Salsa? I would be SOOO tasty with tortillas and salsa Oh, and a dollop of Guacamole. yummmy!!! : )
So I ran as slow, As I wanted and then to make matters worse every time you ran a kilometer in this race there was a flipping HUGE sign that told you that you had just completed a Kilometer. When I run I like to be oblivious to where I am and how much time I've run because if I'm not oblivious the race with last for MY ENTIRE life not just a really long part of it.. MY ENTIRE LIFE..
So after on 1K there was this BIG ole BLUE SIGN and I was like oh my gosh I'm going to die and then I say the 2K sign and the same thoughts crossed my mind. And then of course, I saw Michelle and Izzy running like they were on a conveyor belt in the airport while drinking margaritas and Shirley Temples in front of me. Every time I saw them I had to smile and pretend the reason I was going so slow was because I was enjoying scenic route and the 365 beautiful Catholic churches of Puebla and hoping they wouldn't know the REAL reason that I was running so slow was because I was about to pop a lung and I was praying to God that I would survive (every time I saw a church). But thanks be to Heaven and the man that encouraged me with these words "Come on Guerra!(this is the nice way of saying come on Whitie, you can DO IT!") I survived! Without walking one step. But I ran so slow that It was dark by the time I crossed the line. Oh well, you win some and you lose some. I mean that's not so bad. The race started at 8:30 a.m. I finished at dark. Good thing I don't live in Kenya; I would be eaten by the lions.
So one more random thought before I show you embarrassing and slightly and really out of focus pictures(thanks Jos). I have recently realized why people from Kenya win all the races. Well it's because they have to run from Lions. It alllll makes sense, so I bet when they're running in their ipod they have African Jungle, Safari music with some awesome drum beats going on and the ferocious sounds of lion roars. Now wonder they win; I would be scared out of my wits too. I believe it's time for me to invest in some new running music. Ok Enjoy the beautiful sweaty pictures below --->
So Why am I running again? I'm not sure I ever will know.. But Josefat and Michelle seem confident that I should refrain, but I stupidly don't listen to them
Before I realized how stupid I was for running The race.... Ignorance is Bliss!
Isabel, the Speed Demon number 1, It looks like she's sweating but it is really the margarita she spilled on herself because she was running so fast.
Speed Demon 2 ---She checking to make sure that she has enough time to run the marathon in Puebla that started an hour after the 10K---yup just like she thought she has plenty of time! She finished the marathon in 2 hours and 43 minutes."
Slow POKE!! below... Hey, but I have a good poker face, don't I? I've been practicing.
Sweaty and Happy that I'm alive. but sad that Jos can't focus my camera for nothing. Really, it is not that hard.. : ) 
I'm not sure what this is one. All I know is there's a pole growing out of my head. Thanks Again Jos
Again not sure about this one, but I liked it so it so goes in. And it's in focus because I pushed the focus button... Muahahaha!! I like power much more than I like 10Ks..
