I will not bore you with the mundane details of my beyond busy, jam-packed week. Work, class, PR-campagin planning, volunteering, and getting that whole post-grad job defined the last five days – all stressful and exhausting.
But today's run was a nice break. 3 1/2 miles - 33 minutes. Good exercise and a good mental break = exactly what I needed. But my lovely little jog is the tip of the proverbial iceberg that is training for 13.1 miles. Oye.
There's a lot going against me - I'm only going to get busier this semester. It's cold in Indiana (Lame). I'll be in Japan for 10 days only five weeks before the race, and I don't think I can run the streets of Tokyo (Do Japanese people run for exercise the same way American people do? Something to look up....) I am not a natural athelete. So why am I throwing myself into this whole challenging endeavor?
Running a long distance race is on my bucket list. I've never been to Nashville. And more than anything, I'm excited for the friendship-strengthening experience that will be our "training together apart" and raceday side-by-side fun with one of my best best best friends Corey Beth Gray.
So I'm down.
