So the other day I talked about doing the Iao run with some RFM members who are training for the Hana Relay.
I hate running but I went because if I'm going to run the relay I better put in some time on the road. Plus RFM was close due to Robert and Kristi being out of town, so I really had no excuses.
So that morning I grabbed my workout clothes and looked for my shoes . . . and couldn't find them anywhere.
Crap. It was getting late so I just left. I thought maybe I could stop by the mall and grab some shoes but I never got the chance.
So 4 o'clock rolls around and I don't want to run but I do want to do SOMETHING that will get the heart pumping. Anyway, I got dressed, parked up the street and walked over to where Kathy and Kalaheo were standing, with no shoes. Shauna and the others came up soon afterwards and everyone was like:
"Where are your shoes?"
"Are you seriously going barefoot?"
"You're crazy."
No I'm not crazy. Just didn't have time to get new shoes and really wanted to do some sort of workout.
And I didn't trust myself to workout at home by myself. I'm a Crossfitter, I need my gym-peeps. They keep me going.
In this case, they kept me going all the way up to the road that leads into Iao Valley and about two or three turns into the valley itself. After that my back gave out and I had to turn around and head back to the car.
Not a bad workout though, next time hopefully I'll make it to the end with the rest of the group.
Then again, next time I also hope to have shoes.
Peace.
