How [Not] to run a 5K
Yesterday morning I ran the Race for the Cure. Beautiful weather, good crowd, and a great cause! But how did I prepare? Pretty terribly. So here’s what NOT to do.
1. Don’t try to put together your playlist as your friend is on their way to pick you up. You’ll end up with a lot of sappy acoustic music on shuffle.
2. Don’t wear pants when its hot out, simply because you didn’t do laundry and have any shorts clean.
3. Don’t forget to pick a spot to meet your ride after the race. Especially because none of you will have their phone…
4. Don’t go to a concert the night before, and drink 5 glasses of wine, after having nothing but yogurt for dinner. It hits you fast. And it hits you hard.
5. Don’t stay out until 2am, after watching the guy you thought you were with, make out with some random girl at the bar. No really. Don’t do it.
Somehow, despite all of those things, I pushed through it, and finished the race! I don’t know how fast I ran it, but I’m sure it wasn’t my best time.
It probably goes without saying that life has been… interesting… over the last couple of days. But I’m so thankful for the amazing friends I have! Eric, I could not have run that race without you!
Have you ever had a really terrible race?

Ouch ouch ouch…. Impressed that you managed the race though. That one is for such a great cause though. I’ve had a bad race, but it was due to heat. Still had a pretty good time even though I ended up having to walk a few times.
Sorry you had a bad race, but at least you made it to the finish line just fine! ๐
Oh no! I’m sorry you had a bad race ๐ My worst race was in March- horrible weather and I was sick!
