Worst day ever

I had a 5K this weekend. I was psyched! Ready to beat 30 minutes. It started at 10 AM so we got ready to go around 8:30 (so we could get pat a bagel for breakfast) then head over to the park. I was nervous but ready to go. They did not post which lot we were to park at so we drove up and down the main road in the park.

Nothing.

I checked the other 2 parking lots that are off of Mettlers lane.

Nothing.

At this point we stopped at the rangers station. I went in and asked where the race was.

It was YESTERDAY! I even had it correct on my calendar but for some reason i was convinced it was on a Sunday. So after fuming all the way to Pat's office I give Lillie a call to see how her race went. She improved her time but has not yet broken the 30 minute mark, perhaps we will just have to do it together.

Then I vented to Mom and Lillie about my inability to read my calender. By the time we got home from Pat's office most of my anger had subsided from a rage that would give me a great time on my own lap to my just being in a bad mood. My own 5K was 30:05.17 I couldn't even stay mad enough to beat 30 minutes in my own private 5K.
