Oh, but you don't go!*

I did not run that 5k yesterday.  I wanted to, I swear I did.  I even intended to.  But my schedule got turned upside down recently and I had to go out of town for a few days before the race; from Tuesday to Sunday I wasn't outside at all, really.  And, adding insult to injury, my body was kind enough to endure the host of indecencies I forced onto it, like skipping meals, barely sleeping, and hardly drinking any water.  Oh, and the beer.  Even so, my friends tried to convince me to give it a go, but I just didn't think it would be a good idea.

There will be a next time.
