The 5k Cupcake

Yesterday I ran in the Speak Up For Kids CASA 5k. A 5k is approximately 3.1 miles. I have not run 3.1 miles in two years. That being said, my posted time was 29:04. Let me put that number in perspective for you: the woman who posted 29:02 ran with her baby in a stroller. The lesson? When training for a 5k, do not make a decision to open a cupcake business two weeks before a race. Consuming mass amounts of alcohol-laced cupcakes (and subsequently alcohol) will not help you run any faster. The converse is true, actually.
