Well...it has happened...we signed up for our first 5K this morning. Can you feel the anxiousness in my voice? We were at the Y this morning and one of the ladies who is always there asked if we had signed up for the 5K this weekend? Um..no...I didn't even know there was one.
See this is where my personality & Matt's take different roads...I walk up to the counter ready to sign up...he walks up just to find out some information. I say...let's go for it!!! He says...are you sure...like we are making a decision right now??? Yep! Because I knew if we walked out of that building without committing to it...we would rationalize as to why we shouldn't do it! And between the 2 of us...he is soo ready to do this physically so he has nothing to worry about! He will be a ROCK Star!!
By Golly...we are signed up! Paid the money...getting a t-shirt! Been training for months now...it's time to put our feet to the ground! Can I run the entire 3 miles yet? No..but that's ok. I just don't want to be last people!! Or pass out or fall or look like a dork...LOL! Pray for me...please...I'm scared & anxious...this is more than a race for me. It's doing something I said I could never do, it's letting God show me I can thru trusting in him. Of course there will be pics!
Hope you are all having a blessed day!
Congratulations. Looks like I'll be running one later this month as a fundraiser for Relay for Life.
