The Run for Chocolate 5k, that is.
Another race in the books! Don’t snicker, I really did want s’more bling! 🏅 I didn’t have any fancy Twix up my sleeves tho, so today I took my sweet time crossing that finish line in 27:47. Not a bad Skor for racing 2 days in a row!
My left quad felt like I was running on a Rocky Road in the last mile. Maybe I bit off more than I could chew racing again, but it sure was choc full of fun! 🤷🏻♀️😁🍫❤️
It’s been a while since I raced back to back, but it sure did feel great! Another successful practice of those pre-race rituals – a decent bedtime, proper hydration and fueling, and execution of a race day warm up. You know what they say…practice makes perfect! And, while I’m far from perfect, I am one step closer to reaching my goals today than I was yesterday.
Later this afternoon I attended a ladies only bike skills workout with my local triathlon club. It was mainly focused on beginners, but it was nice to spin out the lactic acid in my legs with some easy brick (bike/run) sets. In between the morning 5k and this afternoon’s workout, there was just enough time to rest, live-stream church, refuel, and caffeinate on this Super Bowl Sunday.
Now, off for some pre-game gluten-free snack prep and weekly Sunday meal prep. I will also be planning out the week with my Happy Planner (love!) and packing tomorrow’s gym bag. Preparation is the key to success because when one fails to plan, they are really just planning to fail! Oh yes, and let’s go Bengals! 🏈
