scared


i'm not gonna lie- the 10k i've decided to run is rapidly approaching and i'm scared. i've even thought about backing out BUT i've made a commitment and i'm going to stick to it even if that means crawling across the finish line. so i've run over 3 miles a couple of times weekly but i have yet to run the full 10k(6.2 miles). this is my next hurdle. taylor has promised to have COLD(that is a must - warm tastes nasty) coconut water for re-hydration on the sidelines. however- i don't even know if that is going to be an issue since it will be 7:30am and the temp outside will still be cool. i mean come on- i do bikram yoga daily- i can run 6 miles - right?! i just need some confidence. originally i was doing this run with a friend but she had something come up and had to back out:( so needless to say- i'm on my own on this one. even the hubby won't do it with me. oh well- i guess it will make me that much more committed. i was talking to an experienced runner friend(she does full marathons people) at yoga this morning and she said ' i always get wasted at that race' meaning after because apparently they have the best beer. who knew the after race drinks are such a motivation to runners?! well i'm more motivated by my after meal race- i'm not gonna lie but a frosty brew might inspire me too. really what i've been craving lately is kombucha but no dice on that one. they are temporarily out of stock. bummer!!! i miss it so much i think i'm addicted. let's keep our fingers crossed- that i make it across the finish line and kombucha gets back in stores asap! toodles for now~

you got this. Our after after race meal is always at Babe's. That is the one time of year we go and eat there. Motivation all the way!
