I am tired, and not because its Monday and the weather stinks (although it IS Monday and the weather is gross). During lunch today, my 5K buddy and I ran on the treadmills at our local gym. For some odd reason, I thought I could kick it up a notch and increase the speed, which probably wasn’t the best idea. I am feeling it now. I need to get my running butt into gear seriously!!!
Our 5K is scheduled for November 12th. Since I signed up, I think we have been to the gym a handful of times, and I don’t believe that is enough (I know it isn’t!). I mean, my husband was away on business for a week, and I was sick for a week…blah blah blah, I know – there’s a little violin playing just for me.
One of my closest far away friends is training for a 10K (bless her soul), and we decided we would be running buddies from across the pond. I think she said that she slept through her last running practice. LOL…I am not laughing at you, Nookie, and I am laughing WITH you. It sounds like something I would do, for sure! She mentioned in a text, (BTW, check out the app entitled Whatsapp…you can text to anywhere around the world for free!) that I should bring my sneakers when I come to visit her in Paris. See, packing my sneakers to run around the Eiffel Tower…totally doable!! Running down A1A on a humid morning (I hope not) doesn’t sound that exciting. BUT I AM GOING TO DO IT!!
I digress…so basically I am just whining and complaining, even though I have wanted to do a 5K for a year or so. I am going to do it…just bear with me.
