I actually made it up in time to get over there by 9 so that I could pick up my packet of stuff and get my number. It was rainy and a little chilly to start and I was thinking that my bed looked really good about then. But I was there and I had made it and who wouldn't want to be a part of the first annual Biggest Loser 5K, right? I ran into an old regular from Bellini's and talked to her while we were waiting to get started. Then Shannon (the sister of my best friend from school) found me and we hung out together for a while catching up on like 20 years of how are you?
The race soon started and the announcer mentioned that the trail might be a little confusing but that we should just follow the signs. I started off jogging with Shannon but I am still not in that great of shape so she went on ahead and I walk/ran my way to the finish line....1.2 miles a bit early. You see I tried to follow the signs that were posted on cones on the ground and yet I managed to make it to the finish line without actually finishing the race. I ran through and got my medal. One of the other racers asked me my time (I am sure he didn't remember seeing me along the way hehe) and I told him that I really hadn't finished the race. I tried to get some help to figure out where I should go to continue but everyone was to busy with racers already coming across the finish line. So I headed back out to see if I could find it myself. I did and I continued on with my race. Luckily I have a program in my phone that tracks my time and mileage. I finally finished the race-declining a second medal and caught up with Shannon.
At the end there were some people from MyFitFoods that were passing out some really yummy breakfast. I should look into them.
