35:38

I am SO proud! I finished the 5km race in 35 mins 38 seconds. Its not eactly 35 minutes but close enough! Considering everytime I run outside  I come in at 37 minutes. I am so so happy with this race and how I finished. It was incredibly fun, and really running with other people does push you on. It really really feels good!

During the race, I told myself I would find one person to pace myself with so I can push myself, so I ran with this random girl. But after 3km she was running so much faster than I could so I changed to this old man next to me. But he left me too

Haha so I decided to run with this mexican couple but then they stopped running and started walking UGHHHHH plan spoiled again. Haha one thing I cannot do when I run is to walk halfway! Because it would be crazy difficult to start running again and I know I can run at least 7km without stopping so I wasn’t going to stop! But whatever it is, the race was really nice, I never did run alone. I was either trying to catch up with someone or keeping pace with someone else. It was so much fun, I would really do this again! Plus the 5k did NOT feel like a 5k at all. I felt I was running a 2.4 or something.

When the sports complex was in sight, we had about 800m or so more to go, this housewife RUNNING WHILE PUSHING A FREAKING PRAM with her 2 KIDS inside suddenly comes out of nowhere and OVERTAKES ME?!?!! WTH?! And at that point I was totally hammered I really could not keep up with the housewife sighsigh you really begin to doubt your own fitness level when a housewife pushing her 2 kids overtakes you AND YOU CAN’T KEEP UP!

Haha but if I learnt anything from the biggest loser it is to celebrate little victories and I’m really really happy I finished!

So we just finished baking 4 trays of dessert for Valerio’s birthday party. I really hope it tastes good though.

I’m watching the american idol premiere and like omg 15 year olds who look like they’re 25?!
