And their off!

This week has been a bad one as far as eating well and working out. On Sunday or Monday I made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies – mmm – mmm good. Helped myself to many of them. I didn’t work out Mon – Wednesday. Thursday morning I had a huge breakfast- bacon, eggs, one pancake, and a scone with butter. Amazing. Then somehow, when I got on the scale this morning, I had lost one pound. I don’t know how I did it. The only thing I can think of is that I barely ate at all on Monday (waiting around for my MIL most of the day) and have been trying to eat better at breakfast and lunch.

Tomorrow, Saturday, I am running a 5K and I am a nervous wreck. I run that distance almost every time I am at the gym, but I am all on my own there. Tomorrow I will be surrounded by people much faster than me. This is all part of Gaylord’s annual Alpenfest, which ends tomorrow. There is a 5K walk, a 5K fun, a 12K walk and a 12K run. All total there are about 500 people competing. I used to be in a 5K a month, back in CA, and never ran without less than 3000 people around me. I was never last – there was always someone slower than me. Tomorrow I could just be the last one coming in. My only saving grace is if the 12K walk ends the same place I do…then there may be people behind me.

Wish me luck!
Til tomorrow –
