I haven’t run over a month. The last race I did was in November and it was a 10k. Today was a 5.2k. Like 3.1 miles isn’t enough, right? They have to add another tenth of a mile to it. Anyway, even after not running in over a month, my pace was the same. I finished in 37:25.. the 5k split was 36:05. I am very proud of it. I’ve never gone for speed… just endurance. If I can run the whole time, I’m proud of that. And I was able to do that.

As for eating… well, I’ve stayed sort of on plan. Weekends are ALWAYS hard for me. Especially getting back into it. BUT, I’ve done okay today. Friends came over last night and I did okay since i cooked, although I did treat myself to some apple cobbler for dessert. Today I had an asiago cheese bagel with egg, bacon and cheese at Panera AFTER the race (I was SOOOOO hungry) while having some girlfriend time with a close friend. Three hours later, my husband calls me to see if I was hungry… YUP! We went to Tijuana Flats (which if some of you remember is my weakness). They have some new products, so I had a Banging Chicken Burrito….. and I only ate HALF of it! YAY ME!! Usually, I would have eaten the whole thing. But this time, nope. I brought the rest home and can enjoy it later :) Tonight I have to go to dinner at my father in law’s… it should be interesting due to who will be there. Long story.. not going into it here.

I’m kind of sore from the race, but not too bad. I have practice tomorrow and our new coach has promised to kick our asses into gear and that we will be CRAWLING to get water. I say… BRING IT!!!
