Yesterday I did a 5k in Beloit. No pictures or results have been posted yet, But I didn't do well. I had a side-ache through most of it that wouldn't go away. I kept having to stop and walk. Any ideas on how to prevent that? I didn't have my usual diet coke before a race. I know I didn't drink enough water before hand because I was thirsty before we even started. I made the mistake of borrowing my brother in law's water bottle for a sip before the race. The top looked like a baby bottle nipple. He did warn me that when you squeeze it, the water will power shoot out. I remember thinking " How hard can it shoot out?". So I squeezed and aimed for the back of my throat. It hit the back of my throat with so much force that it came directly out my nose! Yuk! and then I was still thirsty cuz I didn't swallow any. But, I did have a lovely fruit punch scent in my nose throughout the race. mmmmmmmmmm. After he watched it drip out of my nose he said I should have aimed for the side of my mouth instead.....good to know.
My friend from work, Pam, did the 5k with me. Needless to say, she kicked my ass. She got 31 minutes. I can't beat that yet even on my best day without Gatorade up my nose and a side ache. Way to go Pam! PS your not invited to anymore races until I can beat you.....j/k. Jenny and Mike did the 10K. Jenny beat mike and was pissed when she crossed the finish line thinking that he let her win. He was actually not feeling well and had to sit down and eat something afterwards ,so I think the win was legit.
I've been trying to get a workout in today but Mrs. High Maintenance (Izzie) and Captain homework procrastinator (Jake) are making it difficult. I've been scrambling during her naps to clean the pigsty. It's not going well. Oh, someones eyes are looking sleepy....gotta go. I'll try to post results if they get posted.

That is high quality humor. Sorry about the bottle. I told you it would squirt out fast. Don't feel bad because I pretty much did the same thing the first time I used it only it had accelerade in it. So the sides of my nose actually could stick to the center. Not good.
