Big Peach Running Co. in Kennesaw GA hosted a 5k tonight. We ran all throughout the Ridenour complex (which is HILLS GALORE). Why does it seem like the uphills are long and sloping and the downhills are steep and treacherous? Maybe the 400 meters or so were actually a nice, flat to downhill terrain. The race was poker themed so we all got this piece of paper and ran to different stations throughout the route to pick a card for our poker hand. At the end, we met at Keegans to see who got the best hand and to distribute out door prizes. I came in 2nd place. They had this ONE prize I really wanted (the $100 gift certificate to Big Peach) and I was hoping the 1st woman wouldnt pick it. Thank goodness she didnt; she chose the 1 month of free bootcamp (which if it costs what mine costs .... she probably got the steal of the night). But I'm extremely stoked about my gift certificate! What to buy what to buy? Another pair of shoes or a workoutfit? I really need workout clothes because most of my stuff is cotton crap from Old Navy.
And I did stop to walk during the 5k at times. I could have run more, I'm sure. But I was running with this guy I met and we chatted and knew we werent really in a big rush to knock this out the ballpark. (He actually has a half marathon in 2 months ... you can knock yourself out with that one). Plus, I have done bootcamp this morning and yesterday morning and then I did hot yoga last night (90 minutes worth), so I deserve to trot/walk during the uphills if I want to. So there.

OH! and I totally ruined all these calories I burned by eating at Keegans. There's no way that sandwich could have been good for me. My stomach looks lots bigger than it normally does.
you should've eaten the gift card instead.
fiber just goes right thru you!
