I think I'm going to pretend today didn't happen on the food front.... Home sick and have gone totally insane...

The race was ugly.

Ahhhh.....when I was warming up, I looked around and saw so many fit, fast looking people. I thought, "I'm going to be last." Remember this is not a typical 5K, it is part of the University's cross country meet, so all sorts of runners affiliated with the running community went out. It was not a typical fun run. I spied a 6 year old kid warming up, the only person who did not look like a 6 minute mile runner. I felt better. At least I can beat a 6 year old right (hey, I never claimed to be a good person).

So we took off. Everyone passed me. But that's typical. I just kept telling myself to go my pace. That I wouldn't be last. The 6 year old is back there, right. A lady passes me. No one else does. I pass the lady on a hill. I pass a few more people. The course curves. I see the lady I passed. She was LAST. Which meant that I was LAST for awhile!!! Geez!!!! I suffer through the course. My time was a 30:35. Oh man.

And the 6 year old? Yeah, he beat me.

Hey, that is still a better time than I got on my 5k on Saturday... I am a slow slow slow runner...

I would have thought the same thing about the 6 year old, though.

I've not been all that accountable for food this week... I've seriously overeaten with the whole head cold thing... hoping to get a little more on track today.
