Housekeeping

1. I had a great race at the Cascades Firechase 10k a couple weeks ago.  1:03:46! 2/3 goals down, and I think I surprised J crossing the finish line just 10 minutes after him.

3. Beat my course PR: 1:22:43 CHECK
2. Beat my 10k PR: 1:08:46 CHECK
1. Beat my 10k PR as listed on Athlinks: 1:02:31 Almost


Results:
1:03:46
10:16 min/mile
322/4810 overall
17/26 age group (25-29) 
I had fuel help from O.

2. After the race, we came home, packed up and headed out on a cruise to the Bahamas!  It was a fabulous time that went by too quickly.  Lots of eating and minimal exercise involved.  Except when forced to take the stairs.
About sums it up

3. I have had the hardest time getting back to eating well and training post vacation.  I have been doing better than when I was on vacation, so that's a plus, but I still feel so bloated!  I do feel like I've eaten all I can handle and just want some veggies and my nerves need a good run, so I'm almost there.


4. However, my birthday is only 4 days away!  I haven't met my weight loss goals (especially after the few pounds I gained on vacation), but I am happy with my progress overall.


5. I'm celebrating my birthday with a mud run and I am so very excited!  I'm also planning on getting new shoes for my birthday.  My knee has started hurting, and this pair has a lot of miles on it, so I think it's time.  I'm hoping there's a good hot pink pair that fit me well.  Neon is totally in in running shoes, my chances are good.
