Sunday Catch All, with a new 5K PR!

It has been a fast week in our house, literally!

We will go back to Thursday for my catch up (since that's as far back as I can remember). It started off like a normal morning, getting everyone up and off. Then I climbed on the treadmill to do a nice long walk and then a short run. 20 minutes into my incline walk (and Law & Order: SVU) my calendar dinged at me, dentist in 1 hour!! Eek! My dentist's office is about 40 minutes away! So I rushed and got ready to go. I made it with 5 minutes to spare. I needed a filling because my tooth colored fillings are not standing up well to my teeth grinding while I sleep and they are getting fractured. The fractures mean lots of tooth sensitivity!! One is bad enough that it warranted a new filling. I HATE the numbing shot and the numb face, especially because that ALWAYS makes my face swell, so I went without and it was really no big deal.  I have to go back in 2 weeks to have another filling replaced.

That afternoon I took the two biggest girls to get some new sandals today and was SHOCKED when my big girl couldn't get a size 6.5 on her foot! So we had her sized and she's a 7.5 (remember this child is 10)!! OMG! She is going to have huge feet like her mama!! Then my buggy picked the most gaudy sandals ever!!

Friday flew by! Yesterday was the cancer run, the same race that was my first ever last year. I was feeling good and ready to run! I really wanted to get 26:xx. Of course my Garmin died about half a mile in (which it did last year too) so I ran on feel alone. I definitely need to work on running by feel because I suck at it!! I started off fast and then couldn't get my rhythm. I rounded the final corner and when I could see the clock it said 26:59, ugh!! I crossed the line at 27:07. I was so mad at myself for not pushing harder! I could have done it! I ended up 4th in my age group and don't feel horrible about my time, I just wish it were 8 seconds faster!! I didn't get any pictures so this is a naked post.
