29:00
That was my time for my 5k. I paced myself better in the beginning (thanks largely to turning off the shuffle on my iPod playlist — last week it offered up a really fast song too early and I tired myself out).
It was a tough run and I’m dead on my feet. Traffic was awful so I got there literally with 5 minutes before the race started so I had to warm up during the race! It was so awesome running with my buddies — they’re so much better than I am at running but they were so excited to see if I met my goal and came in under 30:00. It meant a lot and it was a huge encouragement.
The anthem for today’s run is Britney Spears’ Stronger. I made some changes below… check it out! 
Hush, just stop
There’s nothing you can do or say, baby
I’ve had enough
I’m not your property as from today, baby
You might think that I won’t make it on my own
But now I’m
Chorus
Stronger than yesterday
Now it’s nothing but my way (YEAH MAN!!!)
My loneliness tendons ain’t killing me no more
I Am stronger
Than I ever thought that I could be, baby
I used to go with the flow
Didn’t really care ‘bout me
You might think that I can’t take it, but you’re wrong
‘Cause now I’m
Chorus
Stronger than yesterday
Now it’s nothing but my way
My loneliness lungs and ass ain’t killing me no more
I Am stronger
Oh Come on, now
Oh, yeah
Here I go, on my own
I don’t need nobody, better off alone
Here I go, on my own now
I don’t need nobody, not anybody
Here I go(fade), allright, here I go(fade to loud)
Chorus
Stronger than yesterday
it’s nothing but my way
My loneliness lengthy runs ain’t killing me no more
I Am . . .
Stronger . . .(than yesterday
now)that it’s nothing but my way
(My loneliness hips and quads ain’t killing me no more)me no more
Now i’m Stronger than yesterday
Now it’s nothing but my way
My loneliness feet and hams ain’t killing me no more(me no more)
I am stronger
