It's official.
I am attempting a 5K in September. Melissa and I are looking at two races, the Evergreen Race for Fetal Hope or the Dawg Dash at the University of Washington. Maybe both. Probably just one. Because I don't hate myself that much.
She mentioned something called the Iron Girl, and I thought I may have to end the friendship right then and there. Because it brought fear into my heart - a tri? Scary. I'm not so big into the crazy races, the ones where people actually soil themselves during the race because they don't want to stop. But then I read about it and it's just a 5 or 10K. So, Melissa, we're okay. Whew.
I know I can do a 5K, I've done one before, and all without vomiting. Almost puked, but held back. And got a decent time as well, all under 10 minute miles, which is huge for me. HUGE.
Because, as I've mentioned, I'm the girl who hid during running in track or P.E. And if they made me run, oh, how I whined.
God, I was a pain in the ass.

What a great way to get into shape! You will do great!! Just don't think about it -- just do it and before you know it you'll be at the end of the race!
Oh my gosh, you're my hero for today. I'm in shape and I can't even run a 10 min mile. And I hate to run, but maybe one day, I'll run a 5K. Maybe.
I'm looking into a 5k in September or October....
