The 43 Reflections I Had While Participating in a 5K

  1. I truly appreciate my partner for taking care of our children while I compete in this race. A commendable father, indeed.
  2. Am I the only one who skipped showering today?
  3. It might be wise to use the portable restroom one last time before we kick off.
  4. I’ll allow the more fit participants to line up ahead of me.
  5. I wonder how the kids are faring at home.
  6. Did we need to wear armbands to signify our smartphone ownership?
  7. I hope my friends won’t hold it against me if I manage to pass them.
  8. I’ll make sure to wave at everyone I see!
  9. Car approaching—better move to the side. They might not spot us in our bright, high-tech running gear.
  10. My lower back feels comfortable; I’m glad I chose these compression shorts.
  11. Regular undergarments would probably show noticeable lines in these tight shorts.
  12. Who neglects to clean up after their horse?
  13. I’m already feeling thirsty. I should have limited my fluid intake to avoid any accidents.
  14. I wonder about the kids again. I should speed up.
  15. Eating half a carton of expired yogurt was not my best decision. Dairy, why must you betray me?
  16. Am I breathing too loudly?
  17. This high-support sports bra is holding everything in place effectively!
  18. Water station ahead—should I take the plunge? It’s just 5 ounces.
  19. Maybe not. I hope the water volunteer doesn’t feel rejected.
  20. But I will grab a handful of those 5-ounce cups someone carelessly dropped near the trash can.
  21. These compression shorts are warm, but definitely worth it.
  22. Cough, cough. Apologies, it’s the dairy!
  23. Another vehicle. The shoulder is narrow; I’ll detour through these tall weeds to stay clear.
  24. Oh dear! A deceased raccoon. How unfortunate.
  25. I wonder how the kids are doing again.
  26. That water volunteer must be sweltering in this heat. Poor thing.
  27. What should I buy for the kids’ teachers as year-end gifts?
  28. I adore Easter candy.
  29. Are my shorts causing visible sweat stains?
  30. I hope everyone here applied sunscreen.
  31. Am I desperate enough to sip something blue?
  32. I feel sympathy for that elderly gentleman.
  33. I’ll mentally catalog our freezer’s contents.
  34. I would still eat that.
  35. What was the name of that film where a guy collected dew from leaves to create a single sip?
  36. Someone has an unpleasant odor. I hope it’s not me.
  37. I’m growing to dislike these compression shorts.
  38. The Gods Must Be Crazy!—that’s it!
  39. I’m feeling good, nearing the finish line. I’m surprised to be ahead of so many women.
  40. I can’t wait to see my family cheering for me. I wonder if they’ll get emotional when I cross the finish line.
  41. WHAT????!!!! NO WATER AT THE FINISH LINE???!!!
  42. I feel embarrassed for asking for water at the finish.
  43. Where is my family? Oh, they’re in the car waiting to leave. I feel bad for taking so long.
