Before After

Should I or shouldn't I???

I have mentioned before that one of my secret "dreams" is to run in some sort of race. For whatever reason, I really admire folks who have the drive and determination to run or compete in triathalon style races. I have never been that kind of person, but I think it is my ability to make great excuses that allows me to do so.

I live in Maryland and Under Armour has a race here every year. It is held in October in Baltimore. There are varying levels, a marathon, a 1/2 marathon, and a 5k.  I really want to register.  Of course for my first race I would never register for a whole marathon!  Instead I was thinking of the 1/2 or 5k.

Here is my apprehension though...

1. It is not cheap. It's like 65 dollars to just register for the race.

2. I have never been a runner and not sure if I can even run.

3. I have had issue with my feet ( plantar fascaitis , I know I spelled that wrong) and my feet can really hurt after while, so I am afraid running would hurt them more. It is sort of a catch 22 though, if I lose weight, they may feel better, but sometimes they hurt so much, working out is not easy.

4. Fear. I am afraid to fail. I don't want to register and then not do it. That is my  life story about losing weight. I am all excited and ready for about 1 week and then I lose my drive.

On that note, Let me say... YEAH GIANTS!!! I was routing for them the whole time. Even hubby said they had no shot against the Patriots, but I was right! I really do not like Tom Brady and do not think he is attractive at all. I was completely for Eli to win. I was hoping he could have a moment out of his brothers shadow ( don't get me wrong, I love my Payton!).

Anyway, I have been checking on you ladies and you seem to be doing great! Skinny vibes!

Me too!!!

I really admire those people who get out there and run. They inspire me to push myself and try it too. I'm not very good at it at the moment (I can only run 1 minute) but I have dreams of running a 5K!!

Hooray for Eli!

About a week or so I wrote the exact same words that you just did about Eli having some time out of Payton's shadow!  Great minds think alike!! 

Well...

haha...haha...to all of those Pats fans. Sorry guys I just can not stand that coach of thiers. That little bleep left the field before the game was even over. And did you hear that Tom Brady and Randy Moss have now backed out of going to the Pro Bowl...sore losers!

OK I am done with my rant...although I could go on and on...I think that if you really want to do the run, then do it. Noone knows your body like you do. Even if you do not finish the race...at least you tried which is more than most people do!
