Thursday was the final 5k in my summer race series.  At some point after the first race, which went horribly, I switched back from the asics I'd bought back to brooks.  I've probably blown close to $1000 on running shoes that don't work right, if you consider the toe shoes and minimalist shoes and asics and the wrong type of brooks.  Anyway I went back to the same shoes I ran in last year and the last three 5ks have gone much better.

Lunch: chicken and tater tots

Dinner: banana and tater tots

After race: shitty hamburgers and watermelon 

Later (at moms): chocolate brownies

I haven't been sleeping well at all, and Thursday was no exception.  I got about five hours but made it to work, was an ass during a team meeting and spent the rest of the day in solitary cube confinement, working on JMS for an upcoming integration project.  One coworker actually inquired about lunch but I didn't think mall chinese would do for pre-race dining, so I politely declined. Went home and took Flynn on a walk since it was so nice, and just had lunch there.

I napped about an hour or so after work, which was really what I needed, got in the car and headed over to the race.  As usual, I knew absolutely no one else racing, so I stood there and stretched like usual until it was time.  Thankfully they changed the route this year, as last year a train crossed the route about a half mile in, ruining many times.

I had a PR, and stuck around for a sec to grab some crappy food.  There was a party and fireworks planned after the 5k, but seeing as I didn't know anyone, I just got in my car and left.  I did lock eyes with the prettiest girl I'd ran with, but nothing came of it.

I was happy to return to my kiddo and a book.  I'd just finished the iron druid book, and intended to take the mr norrell book but forgot it.  Ended up reading American Gods instead, so now I have two books going at once.  Argh.
