Yep, I am still not a morning person.
I agreed to volunteer at one of local 5K's and work packet pick-up the day of the race, which meant that we had to be there at 5:30 am on Saturday. 5:30?!? Ugh. So I tried to get to bed early Friday night. Tried being the key work there. One of my neighbors was throwing a rave. Seriously. People still do that? There was techno music, a black light and people smoking out on their porch.
Shockingly enough, I made it to E's on time (read 5:00am) and we drove downtown. Let me just tell you. This early in the morning you expect it to be crisp, maybe cool even. Not so much. Walking out the front door was like stepping into a steam room. Low 80s and 80+% humidity.
And E wanted to run the 5K after two hours of volunteering. So with 7 minutes to go before the start of the race we made out way over to the start line that we had helped set up. I was already dripping sweat and we hadn't even done anything yet. Oh and this was my first run in four-ish weeks. We made it the first two miles before we stopped for a quick walk. Seriously, who in Houston thinks it's a good idea to run in this weather? And it wasn't even that bad comparatively. I've never wanted an ice bath as much as when we crossed the finish line that day. But there wasn't one in sight.
Afterwards we went for breakfast tacos...at a place a few blocks from my new apartment. They were fantastic. I may be in trouble. And then I was basically a waste of space for the rest of the weekend! Honestly you would have thought we ran at least a half marathon.
I did get a few things packed Saturday afternoon, but I ended up napping during some of the Worlds coverage!! So not like me. Then came the dehydration/caffeine headache. OMG. Hurts so bad. I was in bed before 11. And I slept quite late on Sunday. Watched more Worlds. Did nothing. And then. And then met E for dinner at Chuy's. Bc I need more Mexican in my life. Did I mention I had it for dinner on Friday? No? Oh well. It was fantastic.
Bc then I went grocery shopping. And not a single unhealthy thing made its way into my cart. It's time to start running and eating healthy again. Summer vacation is over.
