Well,
Stick with it Saturday is here again. This was a rough week. I needed to get my final runs in before running my first 5K (today). I ended up doing something to my neck while running on Wednesday and have had pain in my neck, shoulder and down to my shoulder blade. I wasn't sure I'd even be able to go. I finally decided that I'd go even if all I could do was walk. I was SO disappointed that I wasn't going to be able to run. I woke up this morning with my neck really hurting a lot and almost decided not to go. I took a hot shower, took some ibuprofen and put a heating pack on. It helped a lot.

I ended up going and running at a 30 second ratio. I had a problem with my 5K app at the beginning of the run and spent some time fiddling with that so I lost some time there...also had to stop to tie my shoe (I even double knotted them). My goal was to finish in under 40 minutes. I didn't make it. I finished in 41:28. But, I did it! I'm not really in a hurry to sign up for another one, but I think I will run more races in the future. I came in 23rd for women (not sure out of how many, but I think there may have only been one other woman runner that came in after me..the others were all walkers.) Hey, somebody has to be last. Once my neck feels better I plan to get back to my 10K app.
The kids had fun waiting..there was a bouncy house, face painting and a firetruck to climb into. They also were holding a blood drive.

I was down .4 at Weight Watchers this week. I still wish the weight would come off a little faster but every week I'm down a little so I guess I can't complain.
Goal for the week: stick to the plan!
