Well folks, I didn't win a pie.  I crossed the finish line at the Long Beach Turkey Trot about the same time the kid's Wing Ding was ending. So I was overrun with a herd of 7 & 8 year old speed demons.

Feh.

Seemed like everyone was carrying around a pie except for me.  Not even making a little sign to wear was enough to get a pie.

So after I ran the 7:30am 5k, I considered hanging around and doing it again at 8:30....but instead I just drank some water, ate a piece of banana and walked home.  I was a little bummed, I wanted to take my trophy pie to my mom's house....but when I got home and calculated my running time I realized that I ran a personal best for a 5k.  40:59!!!!  (a little less than a 13-minute mile, never did that before!)

Woot!!

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."

- George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian

Do you want me to go to the store and get you a pie.  But we don't need no stinkin pie.  One piece will lead to another and before you know it, we would be sick from pie.  Way to go though on your personal best, that should make you feel alot better than a stinkin carb filled fattening fat filled PIE~

Love you, Diane
