10K

i did my first official 10k last weekend… i DID it, i did not RUN it – i guess i ran about 4 of the 6.2 miles.  as i write this, i’m a bit discouraged about my running, but i am trying to keep my head up…

see, you have to realize, i don’t actually run – like when you think of people you see on the side of the road… i shuffle, jog, and i can’t run much more than 2 miles together (on a really good day)

people say all sorts of nice things- wow, i could never do that… so proud of you… – but i gotta tell you, i’m just slow – really slow.  So slow that i was that person at my race who has the police officers behind you. 

as i sit here, no, i don’ t want to run again – i’m going to keep training, but the race i wanted to run next, i would finish very close to the back of the pack again, and i just don’t think i can go into it knowing that.

say what you will about exercise and being committed – it sucks to be slow
