...it was an awesome turn out. There were little kids who were super fast and older ladies who kept strong during the whole 3 miles. I ended mine at 31'57", is that good? You bet your ass. Well, to me, anyway. I met two guys, one of which is going to the night trail race and we switched emails so we could stay in touch and hang out during the after party. He's a dad and like me, has dragged their loved ones to stay healthy. I like those people.
I also met another guy who used to live by my husband's old neighborhood. The race was fun, of course I'm doing it again! It's free, runs through a nice little area of the park and you get free bananas at the end, lol. I only ate half bc it sat all weird in my stomach. No eating right after finishing the race anymore.
I didn't take a picture bc my stupid phone was too heavy and it kept bringing down my pants. I... didn't want to flash anyone. There were kids, you know. My pants are loose bc I've lost another pound! Haha, finally, after two weeks of running and limiting sweets (not). I'm down to 135.4 and am finally losing that little ab fat, flab? I don't know.
I honestly felt like I could kick ass the whole day... It was a nice date with my husband, my sister watched both kid and we got to enjoy our dinner. Days like these make me so happy that I've started taking care of myself and family. I want to be able to spend as many days with them as possible without feeling unhappy and worried.
