Post 5K
Apr 11 2008 17:45

Did the 5K in 31:47 and then walked another 6 miles between back and forth from the convention center and walking around the exhibits.  This is the largest conference I've ever been to; like 29,000 firefighters.

About 300 ran this morning; a couple in their bunker gear (real macho guys!) and a team of cadets and a crew in their full bunker gear walked it to show support and rasise $$ for the cause. 

The Zicam and vitamins seemed to do the trick and I'm sure the Jack or Jim and Diet Coke killed some germs too! LOL I haven't had this much to drink in a year, little to say in one week.  But I am away, not driving and hanging with the boys. Feeling great today post the 5K just a little snotty.

Exhibits again tomorrow, then fly back to Orlando and another 5K Sunday morning.  If it doesn't kill me, it will make me stronger.

Not sure if I've totally killed the diet or not. Eating a lot but walking a lot also, so hopefully it evens out. The scale will tell Monday AM....

I'll be good again starting tomorrow...all the partying will be over unless I stayed for another night... Not!

Thanks for the thoughts and advice.
