…”this life is more than just a read through”

My toe is still huge and rather purple, so I am going to do some other form of exercise tomorrow instead of sitting around feeling bad that I can’t train for my race. I also had pizza last night for dinner with the kids AND took my middle one to a party today where the served - of course - pizza. I cannot resist a slice, but I need to keep the weight down. I think (based on how much better it feels today than last night) that I should be able to run in a few days. I will ice and elevate it again tonight. In the morning I will do some pilates or some other exercise video that I have. It is so funny that something as simple as a broken little toe can throw off your game plan. New goal (beyond the 5k on the 27th) is to lose as much weight as I can before my surgery on 10/6. I am going to really pump up the power on my workouts and running (when I get back to it). My goal is to try to lose 5 more lbs. and to also be doing 5 mile runs the week before my surgery. Think I can’t do it, just watch!
oh, p.s. I found out that only 30 people have signed up for this race. So, I am prepared to come in last or almost last.
