So I am not sure what kind of craziness has come over me but in the last month I have let myself be
persuaded into signing up to do both a
triathlon (just a mini one, I am not totally insane) and a 5K run. The 5K I am doing is in just 1 week! It is the 2009 Linda
Buttars Memorial Fun Run. I am hoping that since they named it the "fun run" that I will have more fun running than I usually do. However, I warn you, the time to ask me if it was really a "fun run" is NOT as I drag my weak, shaky, old legs across the finish line. Maybe wait a day or two until the pride of my accomplishment has set in...assuming I actually accomplish crossing the finish line (and hopefully I will not be dead last...although, finishing IS finishing).
Before I got pregnant I think I could have done either one of these activities without much problem. Now, not so much. It has taken much longer to get back in shape than I expected. So maybe I am hoping joining in on the "fun" will jump start me back into a regular exercise routine. But, then again, maybe my motivation to join in on the "fun" stems from the countdown clock you see to your right. When I go to the beach in
Puerto Rico I would really like it if the locals didn't mistake me as a beached whale. Or maybe I am hoping that it actually will be a little bit fun. I will let you know... I have my doubts.

Fun and run should not be in the same sentence!:) Sara called me to see if I wanted to join in on the fun but I don't think I could drag my body across the finish line. I need a little bit more time than a week! Good luck though...you will do great!
