Had anyone told me this time last year that I would be planning to run a 5K in the spring, I'd have said you're freakin' crazy! Seriously. I would've laughed so hard that I may have peed a little. (oops - did I say that? LOL!)
But, that IS the case. It's February 13, 2014, and I have registered for the Color Run on May 4, 2014.
Holy crap! THAT'S 80 DAYS FROM TODAY!
While I'm a bit nervous, I realize that much of my nerves are based upon past memories. Memories of me being sick in the spring (good ol' bronchitis) and having issues breathing. Memories of trying to run and gasping for air (asthma) or being in so much pain in my knees or feet that another step would bring me to the ground in tears (if only I knew it wouldn't take so much to get back up!).
I'm confident that I can DO THIS! I've picked a super easy run - if there is a level of difficulty for the novice runner - since the Color Run is not timed. Whew! Thank goodness. And, it sounds like I'm going to be with an amazing group of people. My friend, Lisa, is the leader of the pack and she's an amazing inspiration for me when it comes to running.
