I really wanted to be further into training for this race. I was hoping to run the 5k in 25 minutes, or as close as I could get to 25 minutes.
Looking more like this might be just a warm up run for the rest of my events this year. LOL!
Anyway. Day 3 into the New Year, I think my body is trying to come down with a cold. However, I am rejecting this idea and getting lots of rest, fluids, and essential oils pumped through my system to get past it. Here's hoping! Which reminds me of the first time I ran the Superbowl 5k back in 2013, I had been sick two weeks prior. I think I had the worst case of stomach flu I'd had in ages. It was weird running again, because I felt like I was trying to get my sea legs back under me.
When pop and I ran two years ago in 2015, I got first for my age group! I was actually really surprised. I think I ran it in 33 minutes. I thought for sure I wouldn't even be mentioned...unless of course by some fluke that I was the only person in my age group. However, I prevailed! Maybe if I'm lucky, since I've moved up an age bracket, I'll win again ;)
In case you feel the need or want to suddenly run with me, here's a 30 day or 1 month training planning to get you on your feet.

Food wise-not great today. I had some sugar mid morning, because--due to cold medicine--I was THHIISS CLOSE to passing out at my desk...and that's kind of frowned upon.
One day at a time though right? I've been having a lot more conversations...with myself...in my head...about my goals. Mostly it goes something like this.
Me: OOOH!!! Look, chocolate! Can we have it?
Also Me: No. We have an event on Friday. We need to have a clear face and feel good.
Me: OO! But can we have it?
Also Me: Sigh. No. Look we've discussed this. We're trying to be healthy again.
Me: Yeah...I guess.
So, here's to goals and sticking to them. No matter how hard we try to self sabotage.
Blessings,
A
