Three more days

Wow is the 5K really in three days!! Time has been flying by lately and I didn't even realize how long it had been since I blogged, until I checked it today. I did a practice walk/run on Saturday and suffice it to say, it went OK. I'm trying to mentally prepare for Saturday morning and the possibility of it being very hot. I'm not a huge fan of the heat and although some people would attribute this to my weight or age, they are wrong, I just don't like the heat. Sorry about that, I'm still a little bitter about the butt-holes and their ignorant comments.

Today was my visit to one of my doctors to check my blood pressure and cholesterol. She explained to me that people in training don't lose weight and many end up gaining. I stayed the same, thank goodness. What the hell! Still hoping it's muscle. She also told me that I need to eat a slice of toast with peanut butter before the race. I normally don't like to eat a thing before I hit the road, but I will listen to my Dr. and she reads this blog sometimes, so I had better say that. Anything for a little more energy. I'll have to leave my house about 6am on Saturday to get to Fairfield about 7 and some wiggle room on the time just in case I get lost. There won't be anyone at the finish line for me and I have to admit, that makes me kind of sad. My husband will be with our son at a military thing. My son told me to do the race and so I will.

On my way home from the Dr., I remembered that I wanted to get a purple feather in my hair for the 5K and I was passing by the hair salon, so I stopped in to see if they had time tomorrow to do it for me. When I walked in the door, my hairdresser was sitting right there and although she had an appointment coming in, another person offered to put it in for me today. She heard me talking about the 5K and that I'm a survivor etc... and she put the purple feathers in my hair "on her". It was so nice and I really love my feathers.

One last thing for today. Since my 5K is almost here and this training is coming to an end, do you people want me to continue my blog writing about random things? I will be continuing going on my walks and I might start yoga. I'm sure there are many more amusing things to share in my future. Oh yeah, and should I change the name of my blog? Any suggestions? I will try to blog Saturday afternoon to let you all know how it went. That is if I can still move my body. I will do my best.
