I trained to do a 5K jog for 5 or so weeks, I was doing anywhere from 2 1/2 - 4 miles 4 times a week. I have not seen a lot of weight loss, but I can tell a difference in the way I feel and the way I look so I know I'm losing inches (I should probably have kept track of that). So, Friday night (I'm a total procrastinator, leaving things to the very last minute) I dragged my mom out to the store to get some running clothes. I went to bed early and set my alarm for 6:30 the next morning because the run was at 8 and that way I would have plenty of time.
The next morning I woke up to Emma getting in bed with me. I looked at my cell phone and it was 7:30!!!! There was no way in the world that I could've made it at that point. I wondered why my alarm didn't go off. I thought, maybe it did and I just turned it off in my sleep... Well, I had set the Tues-Friday alarm.. why I even have one like that, I do not know.
Anyhoo, can we say FAIL!?!
I was extremely disappointed that I missed out on my very first 5K and I let friends down as well, not a great start to my weekend. I do get a 2nd chance. I am definitely doing the race for the cure on Oct 22nd and I can't wait. My friend and I are going to do it together, I'm hoping we can get some more people for our group as well. This time I am NOT oversleeping!!!
This ones from our 4th of July Parade ;0)
