Big Pumpkin Run 5K

Cold, rolling hills, 29:07. I am not too proud to admit that I sprinted at the end to pass a dog and it's owner. Said dog had the nerve to drop a load earlier in the run leaving those of us in it's path to deal with the smelly aftermath.

Lunch

Before you get impressed, let me just say that I wish I could say that this is me preparing for the Big Pumpkin 5K on Saturday. In actuality it's me trying to stick to my grocery budget and not having any other less healthy options in the house. Back in the day this was standard, today what I wouldn't do for some chocolate or a piece of pizza.

Getting Lazy Costs and Active Irritation

I took 5 days off (read too lazy to do anything) last week. Ran/walked on Monday, nothing Tuesday or Wednesday, ran/walked today. I am currently icing my shins. Lesson to self: keep moving or you'll be sorry.

On a side note, I tried to register for the Big Pumpkin 5K through Active.com last night and got an error message when entering my credit card info. I emailed Active.com and referenced that this was the 2nd race I tried to register for through Active.com that I've had a problem with and needed to verify that the information didn't go through. I promptly recieved a response this morning stating it was an issue with the information I entered not the site. Irritating since I had triple checked the info I entered, but pleased that it didn't take them 3 days to respond like last time. Tried to register again this morning but this time the site wasn't working at all, interesting...My fault you say. So I try a 3rd time this morning, because I am persistent (read stubborn) and finally success. (with the same information I entered last night, I am just saying)

On another side note: Work Slim Down Challenge, not so good. The scale is moving in the wrong direction, ugh!
