Mood: dissapointed, but determined

weight: 261

current strugle: having a set routine

I had my first 5k run/walk yesterday. I was super excited to do it and to have finished it, then I find out that I didn’t really complete it. I was super bummed out. As it turns out the route was not marked well and people were being allowed to come in to the finish line after just one “lap”. We were supposed to do two. When I crossed the finish line after following other walkers ahead of me, I asked if that was it… Then I was told I had to go two laps. Me and my 10 year old son asked if we could go back out to do he second lap and were told it was too late we could not because we had already crossed the finish line. We were sooo disapointed. But we will not let this stop us. We both signed up for the duluh fall festival 5k at the end of the month. I already requested a map of the route and this time I will make sure there is no mistake about completing all 3 1/2 miles. As it turns out we were not the only ones who made the same mistake, but we will continue our efforts to one day run the 5k and finish in the top!!!!! I was happy to see my friend And fellow challenger Kimmie there. You look GREAT!!!!!!!! Hopefully I will see more challengers in a future 5k….

Semper Fi!!!!!!!!!
