Today was just not a good day, 3 days before my next tri event and I'm skipping the gym and having a few beers.
1. I do not like snakes, particularly the human kind.
2. My knee still hurts, I knew there wasn't going to be any miracle turn around but it still HURTS.
3. Felt like throwing up this morning when I scheduled my certification test.
4. Felt like throwing up again when the snake came out.
5. I do not like spiders, just like snakes they sneak up on you and are creepy.
But....
1. I have my health - yes while I still have about 25 lbs to lose, I'm think I'm healthier than I have ever been in my life.
2. I have a wonderful hubby - who listens to me cry and complain, which is why he is my hubby and I love him very much.
3. I have great friends - those that read this site will read it and send me a note letting me know that all will be fine. This is why they are my friends and I love them too!
So....
1. Blogging/writing/talking on the telephone/chatting is all just a way if venting when life frustrates you.
2. I know others have a bad day and I just want them to realize they aren't alone.
Tomorrow will be better because when you really sit down and look back at your day you realize it wasn't as bad as you thought and that someone else had a worse day than you!
Autism 5K, Potomac MD Race Report
I was looking forward to this race because it is for a good cause and it gives me and the hubby an opportunity to show our support for Autism.
Much to my surprise the weather was beautiful this morning for running. A nice and cool morning that heated up very quickly, but only after we finished our run.
My official time was 34:15, a pace of 11:03 per mile. I finished 735th out of 1050 overall and 37th out of the 71 Women 35 - 39 (unlike USAT rules, I was still in the 35-39 age category).
The course was in Potomac, MD and there were lots of hills. I started out slow but finished well. The hubby was of course much faster than I was but I never claim to run fast.
About mile 2ish my right knee really started bothering me, particularly coming down hills where there was a lot of pressure on the knee cap. After the race it hurt so bad that I could barely walk, after a 45 minute drive home with the top down in the TT and some coffee, it seemed to feel a bit better and as of this posting it's doing much better. I'm tentatively scheduled to ride tomorrow so we will see how it does.
