Cupcakes & Running Shoes

The JP Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge is in two days and I am nervous as all hell. My goal is to jog the entire thing (it’s a bit longer than a 5K — 3.5 miles to be exact), but I won’t be heart broken if I fall short.

I assume running outside will be much different than running on a treadmill especially since it’s supposed to be hot (85 degrees!) and humid (yuck). Hopefully I can feed off the crowd’s adrenaline and make it. My jaw nearly hit the floor when I saw the number of participants: 12,000! Yes! 12,000 individuals from hundreds of companies in the Boston area will be running this thing. AND I AM GOING TO BE A PART OF IT.

I haven’t been to the gym since Saturday due to possible shin splints, but I plan on going tonight. I hit my calorie goals Sunday and Monday despite heading up to Methuen for a Father’s Day visit. Mmm. Meatloaf. My mom makes the best freaking meatloaf.

It looks like I might blow today’s calorie goal due to cupcake-shaped shenanigans, but holy damn! It was good. Instead of eating the whole thing, I cut myself a piece of it and enjoyed every bite.
