Race frenzy continues

Ugh. What a horrible 5K I did tonight. I didn’t even look closely at the clock when I finished, but it was around 36:30. I even walked some of it. It was hot, humid & hilly. Three things you don’t want for a race (or heck, anytime). Plus, I haven’t trained for this. I kind of took a break from hard training after doing the 10K and I paid for it. Plus, I ate dinner just before I left. Major mistake. A full belly doesn’t go well for an evening run. And, besides, the amazing food they had post-race, I just couldn’t enjoy because I was full from dinner. A local tavern sponsored the race and they had wings, hoagies, hot dogs, soft pretzels…all of my favorites! What was I thinking eating a full dinner before it?

Well, one thing for certain - I have to get back to training and training hard. I’ve gained 20 pounds since April - mostly because of the nasty prednisone I was on for hives for 5 straight weeks. And, man, I just can’t get that weight off. Plus, I’m still on the doxy for Lyme Disease (2nd round) and I get sick if I don’t eat enough before I take it. Just another week or 2 of this round of Doxy and then I’m done. I see the specialist the end of the month & we’ll decide what, if anything, I have to do next.

On a business note, I don’t think I ever posted about my kit, Ocean Life. It’s available at SBB and ShopJMT. At ShopJMT, you can get a special deal on the entire kit PLUS the brag book. At SBB, you can get everything individually or the full kit by itself.

    Uhg… Running with a full stomach. Heck - I can’t even run a 1/2 mile. Couldn’t in high school, and won’t even attempt it now!

    Hopefully the meds will work, and you can get off them. [hugs]
