Make sure you are safely seated before reading on. I don't want anyone to get hurt. I just signed up for my first race. It is a shocking new development for me. The last race that I willingly ran in was "The Little Foot" run when I was about eight.
But in the last month I have added the exercise habit and become a bit of an exercise junkie. So tonight I signed up for a 5k. I had considered a 5-miler, but I couldn't get past the whole start at 7:45 thing, leave the house at 6:15 thing, to go get sweaty amongst strangers. So I found something closer with a later start time. It has the added bonus of being partly on bark trails too. Easier on the shins.
I have three more weeks before the big event. I may have to wonder what I have gotten myself into. But it should be interesting.
The chronic misadventures of parenting, teaching, friendship and life. Take the plan and throw it out the window, because life isn't following it anyway!

I have to admit, this was a pretty big shocker because of how much you have share your dislike of running. :-) However, this was a very happy thing for me to be wrong about! I am very excited for you! I can't wait to hear more. I am glad that exercise is helping you. That's great!
Good for you Ped! I'm totally impressed.
(BTW - I'm living in the NW USA too, so we may not have quite so many miles between us as you think.)
WHAT??!! The hater is becoming a lover? I am shocked, but in a pleasant way. Good for you!
Wasn't a hater, just an avoider. :)
