Yesterday was the Race for the Cure. Considering the heat and humidity were both very high, I think Polly and I did pretty well. There was supposed to be a cold front coming through on Saturday night, but when I got up yesterday morning, I was assaulted by the heat. Blech. I hate hot weather, especially when I’m going to a race.

So anyway, we get to City Park, I have some issues with the Curves people (I signed up with the Curves team) but blah blah blah and then the race starts. Polly and I wanted to run the first and last miles, but there was little shade after the first 3/4 mile so we walked and ran as we felt like it. So I was just aiming for a sub-40 minute race. Happily, we finished in a few seconds under 39 minutes. Not a personal worst, and far from my personal best. Maybe at the next race in three weeks the weather will be cooler? At least we got medals this time, along with a few fun goodies (cereal, makeup bag, mug.) And hey, it’s for a good cause.

Yesterday was exhausting, not only because of the race. Directly after the race, I went home, showered, rushed to Delta Queen, trained Caitlin for 5 hours, went to Anne’s mom’s house for her mom’s birthday party, went to Whole Foods and Blockbuster, watched half of the Royal Tenenbaums.

Ate incredible food at Anne’s mom’s house. White chocolate bread pudding, especially. It must be one of the most point-heavy foods, but was worth every point. So delicious. Was exclaimed over for weight loss (though no one actually said “you’ve lost weight” which is kind of funny. Let’s ignore the elephant in the room. There were lots of “your hair…it looks different”s.)

At Whole Foods, I was saddened by the broken freezer section. Cherry bars all gone! But it was funny, another girl got there at the same time as me, for the same reason. So we tried to get an employee to get some out of the back for us, but it was like a farce. So no cherry bars. Very sad. Must go back. Hmmph.
