Wow. I can't believe it! Only 1 week to go until the 5k. I'm not sure what to expect. I have my dress all picked out. I think it will need to be pinned to my bra because I really don't need straps falling down while I run. I also need to figure out some way to get my tiara to stay on my head for 3.1 miles!
Speaking of 3.1 miles, Jenni and I did our run this morning on the "pretty" stretch of the trail. Are you ready for it? We ran it in 36:10 minutes!!! That is a 12 minute mile, baby! My knees held up alright and I had a band-aid on my heel. Despite being out of breath, I was pleased with the run. We ran harder and farther than ever before. I think I will run one more time on Wednesday after I have muffins for moms at Gabriel's school and then I will rest until Saturday. Hopefully, I'll get some time to take some pictures of everything.
Here lately, after I run, I have had some pretty insane cravings for carbs. I couldn't fight it today, so I caved and we went to Stevi B's Pizza and ate the buffet. I was amazingly not as hungry as I thought I would be, although I still managed to consume 1300 calories in one meal. (Good thing I skip breakfast before my runs)
Deadlocked is going well. I think I am on chapter 5 right now. Charlaine Harris has a tendency to have super long chapters and chapter 2 was especially long! I'm not sure how I feel about what's going on in it. I know that Ms. Harris has said that she will not be turning Sookie into a vampire, but I just can't imagine her with anyone but Eric. Sighhhhhh.
Oh, the new sporting goods store in town had it's grand opening today, so we stopped by since it is in the same plaza as the pizza place. They had an outdoor fishing hole for kids to fish with actual bait for 5 minutes. Evelyn caught a real catfish!!! She was excited until it came out of the water, then she was scared as hell! Gabriel was a little bummed because he didn't catch one, but at least he has now had the experience. Tons of fun!
Well, work tomorrow, hopefully uneventful!
Awesome job on the run and the weight loss! I've hit a plateau, but it's my fault for not being consistent with my workouts.
