Run Forest Run

Okay, so I only ran part of it- but I did do 10 miles today. Why you ask. Well, I am the ultimate procrastinator. Really, I am. I have found that I perform best under pressure. What is the connection between running 10 miles & procrastination? That would be the Chicago Marathon. http://www.chicagomarathon.com/ I was a foolish, foolish girl with apple pie in the sky hopes. I thought after I completed the Disney World Half Marathon in January- that hey, it might be fun to do the local event. LOL. I must have been smoking crack on the day I signed up. Or at least you'd think if I was going to sign up for such events that I might train or something like that- right because that is what sensible people do. Well, I've never claimed to be sensible.

I hate running. I don't like training. I don't like sweating. However, I do like the sense of accomplishment and the awesome medals you get. I'm going to have to take some pictures of those babies and post them. It's all about the jewelry- and the looks I get when people look at me and wonder how on God's green earth I do such events. I may not be fast and I may not be skinny, but I do have the determination to push through the pain.

So I haven't trained, but I'm going to push myself over the next few weeks and I'll give the marathon the old college try. I don't think I will finish, but hey I paid for my entry, so I'll see what happens.

As runners say-
Dead F*&^ing last > Did not finish> Did not start
