And I'm running alone again because my running buddy broke his toe. Poop. Anyways, tonight I went for a 3 mile shakeout run. On Sunday I went and got an hour and 45 minute massage, and my body just feels so fresh! Tomorrow I've got a 5K but I'm probably just going to tempo run instead of race it. We'll see.

Today was Handcart Days! I woke up this morning really grumpy because I couldn't sleep last night and I was too grumpy and tired to eat breakfast, not even a piece of bread. When we got to the race and picked up our packets I was really hungry, but the Rec Center didn't have any vending machines with food in them and the concession stand wasn't open, so I ran half mile down the road to Maverick where I bought 2 Nature Valley oats and honey bars. I only ate one, then finished warming up. Then I changed shoes and did my strides. I was still unsure if I wanted to race or tempo. The cannon fired and I decided to go tempo. But I was the leading lady out of the parking lot, so I decided that I would race :) It felt really good. My plantarfacia hurt really badly at miles 1.5 to 2.25, but once I had that less than a mile to go I ran scared because I knew there were some girls close behind me. I really wanted to be the first female. For the last quarter mile I picked a target of one of the guys who looked like he was ready to be done, and I worked up to him and passed him. We were sprinting down the homestretch and he was right on me, but I still chicked him :) I threw up my breakfast, but since it was only one bar it wasn't that bad. I never cool down, so naturally I didn't cool down. Oh but on the results I was listed as a male, so I had to get that taken care of. I was excited for the medals because they looked really cool, but turns out those were for age groups, I got a chair. Oh well. No bling for me today :( Overall it was a good race, I was way more prepared for this race than I expected.

Today was a good day. First things first, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUSANNAH!! Anyways. Today I went up to Pipeline with Susannah, Patrick, Katelyn, Becca, and Alyssa. In the first .25 of the trail there was a super angry snake. 2 people walking the other way with their dogs were scared too, especially when one of the dogs chased the snake. It gave me a lot of adrenaline. I stayed up with Susannah and Katelyn for the first 1.75 but then my snake fright wore off and I wasn't feeling too good. I stopped at 2.5 and decided that 5 would be good enough. I turned and headed back at a little faster pace, but still conservative. Afterwards Susannah and I went and got our nails done and I got mine super long, making typing difficult. Happy Birthday Bananny!
