Oh Crap, I’ve Committed!

Well, it’s done. I’ve officially registered for the Austin Zooma Run. The event is a 5k and a half marathon, and yeah, I signed up for the half marathon. Um, what?! I haven’t even run my first 5k yet. Luckily I have until April to keep training, but the whole thing is freaking me out!
Last week I had to take the entire week off from training because I got what most people have this time of year; the sore throat, no voice, lungs that feel like they’re going to implode, and a cough that won’t stop. Sooo, I feel like I’m way behind. But, I’ll be back on a roll tomorrow. (yeah, I would have gone today but Abby stayed home sick from school)
All in all, even though the idea of a half marathon freaks me out at this point, I am still really excited. For one, a lot of my girlfriends are running the race with me! A bunch of us have jumped on the c25k bandwagon! I love it. It’s great to have support from others who are going through the same program. It’s really encouraging. The race weekend will be a lot of fun because I get to share it with them.
Another reason I’m excited is because my cousin, Steph, will be flying down to do the race with us! She’s the closest thing I have to a sister, so it will be great to get to spend an all girls weekend with her. I hardly get to see her anymore since I’ve moved to Texas. To sweeten the deal, she and I are going to finish the weekend off by….skydiving. YIKES! (I’m beginning to question my sanity when I put this list together)
Did I mention that not too long ago while lying in bed, I began to have, what I imagine to be a mild panic attack at the thought of actually skydiving? I laid there imagining the first step out of the plane and my heart began to race. WTF am I thinking? It’s going to be fun, right?! Someone reassure me here.
You can do this, you can do this, you can do this…
First-I cannot wait to come spend the weekend with you! Girls weekends are the best :D
Second-I really think if you think about jumping out of plane it’s going to freak you out more (I know it does to me!). We’ll probably end up like Brenda and Kelly (90210) and both get so scared but end up jumping out at the same time haha
I love ya babe!!
It will be great fun!! We will accomplish this together. Can’t wait!!
Can’t wait to see/hear about the skydiving! I’m too terrified, but think it would be such a thrill for those that do it!
