How long has it been?
Ok I'll admit it...I'm horrible at blogging! I LOVE looking at other people's blogs but I always put off updating my own. I'm making a new resolution to myself.....start updating my blog at least twice a week! Please feel free to "call me" on it when I don't keep this promise. It's almost like a diet, I know I should do it, but I always tell myself "I'll start on Monday". lol
In my last blog I said I would tell you about my experience with "Wharf to Wharf". So here it is, the good, the bad and the ugly!
Early this year my sister convinced me to start training with her for my first run. Now anyone who knows me knows that I don't run. But it was the beginning of the year and as everyone else I had visions of myself "running and in the best shape ever". WHATEVER! In our 5th or 6th week of training (I'm still unsure because I think I was slowly losing it) I completely had a breakdown on the trail and confessed my HATERD towards running! So Christina said it was okay and I could walk the race instead of running it. I felt much better.
So I completely gave up any sort of training (even walking) until about a week before the race! So needless to say I was in no shape for it. It was a great day and we were so excited. My sister and my two other friends ran the race and waited for me at the finish line. When they asked why it took so long I confessed that I saw a fruit stand and stopped to buy something to eat. What? You can't stop for a bite during a race? Oh well.
I told everyone that I'm no longer interested in entering another race, ever, never, ever again.
My sister came by the other day and told me about the "Evening Run" in Palo Alto. She made it sound so good that I began to have visions of myself in the best shape ever. When do we start training?
