I totally blew it

I told Mom about the race. I knew this was going to happen. I am thinking, eating, drinking, and breathing training. I knew I would slip up! But then I told her it was just me and Sandy and that Sandy was my inspiration, so it was only a little lie.
I went two and a half miles today without too much trouble although I went kind of slow. I didn't care because like Sandy said as long as I go, then I have won.
