am i a wimp?

so...since school started i have been pretty much a slacker with the running (note my last date to run on my calendar to the right)

2 of my friends and i decided we would start running together...maybe signing up for a race would be the motivation we needed???? so...stacy picked out a race and our options were a 1K, 5K, or 10K. my thoughts...1K. we are NOT runners...we should start off small, feel a sense of accomplishment, and run a 5K the next go round. oh...did i mention it is 2 1/2 weeks away???

well...my friends not only thought a 5K would be great...one of them decided to go ahead and register...NICE...now i feel the pressure to run the 5...not the 1...

1st run was tonight. i decided to just go as far as i could...drumroll, please!

........
........

.82 miles...10 minutes...asthma attack on its way...

...oh my goodness...i have a LOOOOOOOOOONG way to go...

...did you know that a 5K is over 3 miles
...did you know that the one i will be doing is in an extremely hill-lly area
...did you know that, not only is it hilly, but the huge climb is on the last leg of it
...did you know that i am kinda a freak about wanting to do a good job
...did you know that i am NOT going to handle it well IF i don't finish...still running

so...am i a wimp?

i think so...

ps-i love you girls...but i MIGHT hurt ya at the end of this thing ;)
hehehe
