Did the Jingle Bell 5K Fun Run/Walk today. Turns out 5k is not much longer than once around Padden. Which I was running every weekend during most of this year. So I guess I could have run instead of walked. It is on pavement though so that is a concern. I did have to chuckle though as one of my walking companions suggested that next year we actually run. So it looks like I'll be running it. At the same time one of my co-workers, who is a runner, suggested that I start doing some 5k events.
As I've said I'm not really into running but it might be an interesting experiment. It should help the biking. The stronger my legs and wind gets the better I'll be on the bike, I'm sure.
Today is also my birthday. I turned 60 today. Makes me wonder just a bit as I don't feel 60. I guess if I continue with the workouts and stay active I hopefully can slow down my body aging. I hope and yes that is the idea anyway. (insert smile here)
Breakfast: 20oz of cold water
After the 5k: Spicy lentil wrap and more cookies.
It was also the work holiday party. We had appetizers and wine and beer to start. The actual meal consisted of salad, chicken, potato pancakes, and some other stuff with a Southern taste. For desert there was chocolate cake. Later in the evening adult beverages were served along with some ice cream.
So I didn't go to the gym today but the 5k walk was some exercise. Tomorrow I'll hit the gym but it's also another D&D game day with friends. Food will be an issue but I'm sticking to my new one serving of chips rule.
