Determination.

So as it turns out, I have registered for my very first road race. This has been something I have wanted to do since I was running competetively and never have. Rick's new girlie talked me into it. 59 days until I run my first 5K.

Me thinks I should get my butt in gear. I'm sure you can do the math and research and figure out exactly which one I'm running in, but really, if you are that interested all you have to do is ask. Regardless, I am excited. And at this point, I'm motivated.

Just to ensure my place in the nerd hall of fame, I have made a chart and a calendar. The chart will track my distances I have run and the calendar shall be marked by funky stickers (yeah, I said stickers) to have a visual of my ability to keep at it. Both shall find their place taped to my bathroom mirror. That's right folks... I am a wannabe runner who has a soft spot for charts and graphs. But you all love me anyway. Right?



RIGHT?!?

Wha-wha-what?! Rock on I say. Wish I could muster equal amounts of motivation, but then again, I abhor running.

wow!!! Awesome!!! I seriously doubt I could survive running more than maybe 1/2 mile :)

MD - It's true. I'm going to do it. I have motivation to run every night now. Currently I am running 30 minutes total. Walk for 2, run for 3. I end up traveling just over 2 miles, so I'm pretty sure I could do it under the 1h30m restriction they have in place.

AM - I miss running. It clears my head and makes me feel so much better about myself.
