I forgot!
General February 23rd, 2008I completely forgot to report about my 5k report. Well it was cold and raining and it went terribly. There were tons of hills and ya’ll know how I hate those. I ended up having to walk up some of the hills. Came in at 38:40? I think. Also, they ran out of tshirts in my size when I got there, so I got stuck with a Medium…from last year’s race. The worst part is my thin best friend, who had totally slacked off running, finished before me and won a prize drawing for a 20 dollar gift certificate for a local restaurant. Yes, I’m being petty, but it just sucks that I can’t beat someone who couldn’t even run 2 miles before the race. I’m pretty sure it’s because she’s much thinner than me. No, I’m not going to be stupid about it, but these are my feelings and I can’t help how I feel. Anyhow, I feel much better about it.
Today: Ran 2.5 miles around my neighborhood with the stroller. I’m normally against that, but it was early in the morning, nice and quiet. I probably saw 3 cars total and a lot of walkers out. Unfortunately, my child, who never utters a peep in the stroller except to say “Yum” (for his snacks) or “Duck” (for the bird, not the verb) decided to pitch a fit about a mile from home. I’d planned to do 3 miles, but had to shortcut it back to the house because he started getting pretty angry. I guess he doesn’t like neighborhood strolls? Also, I never noticed how hilly my neighborhood is.They aren’t nearly as bad in my car!
Tonight I also did about 30 minutes of Firm Bootcamp. My gosh, I couldn’t keep up with some of it. I really like it though and my abs are hurting already. I always wonder what my abs look like under all that fat…maybe one day i will find out, if the saggy skin isn’t covering it by then. I also played about 15 minutes of DDR. Now I’m ready for bed!! Eating was pretty good today. I hope to go for a 5 mile run tomorrow when DH watches the baby. I may go before he wakes up though and just do it with the stroller, he has been working pretty hard lately.
Cross your fingers that my little one sleeps through the night again, it was heavenly last night. I forgot how nice it was!

You did a wonderful job hon - damn - I mean I could never even picture myself doing a 5K and up hills at that! Incredible! I do feel you on your buddy though - I think you’d be inhuman if you weren’t a bit upset. But I’m so happy for you- you are making so many goals. Awesome!
I love your little one! How cute is he
I hope he sleeps soundly. What a sweetheart.

In races, like everything else, in our minds we know some days are better than others; can’t explain that to the heart, though. The simple fact that you did it, stuck it out even when the going got tough, puts you sooooo far in front of most people that you are a winner in my book. Yep, I’d be peeved about the friend thing too.
Hope you had a great 5 mi. today.
