Do I dare?
While looking something up for an email I was writing I came upon the website for the Mercury News 10K, you all remember, that race I had planned to do again... last year? two years ago? However long ago it was that I started school and let the ole body go all to hell?
Anyway. I remember that was my big goal for that year, to better my time by ten whole minutes, but school got in the way, blah blah blah excuses excuses, and that goal was not achieved. But as I looked it up today I realize it's coming up again...
Now, there's no way I can better my time by ten minutes in less than 2 months, in fact, I'm not sure I can get up to a 10K in that time... but I can definitely do the 5K... which is a shame because I love that 10K course so much... but still, a race... I haven't done a race in so long... !!!!!!
I just checked the calendar, I'll be in San Jose that weekend... there's a 5K walk the kids can do if they want... or they can run or they can stay in bed until I get home for all I care.... do I dare?
What a great goal to start the year off. I remember when I ran that 10K for the first time so long ago my mother was SO PROUD of me, and bragged to everyone at work that her daughter ran the race, and ran it faster than some other teacher's daughter who worked with her... Heee....
Well WHY THE HECK NOT? I can run a 5K. It may be my slowest time ever (or probably not, considering I was stuck in a portapotty at the starting gun of a race in Monterey once, heh) but I can still cross the finish line...
To be continued while I think about this some more...
