No race for me

I had a 10 mile race this morning through the park. I even picked up the packet yesterday and went to bed early. But the alarm never went off at 5:30 and I didnt wake up until 20 minutes before the race. Had it been a 5K I would have rushed over but 10 miles is too long to do with no food and no water. Plus the start of the race was at least 25 minutes away. So instead I did a 16 mile run and I ran the race course and saw a few stragglers along the way that I cheered on. They deserved it as they were able to get their asses out of bed on time. I am totally bummed since this was the last long race before the half marathon next month, but there are still a couple of 10Ks that I can run for practice.
On the way home from my hair appt yesterday I saw this.

It was a nice surprise since my haircutter never showed up (and apparently didnt show up for the 2 earlier appts either). We didnt even have one of these on Oahu! I called Chris and he didnt believe me. I came home with 6 glazed donuts for him and it was like Christmas. They were gone within the hour. Congrats to everyone who actually got out of bed and raced this weekend and congrats to beth who kicked some butt at vineman while being sick.
