For some stupid reason I have agreed to run tomorrow morning at 6:30am with a neighbor. Now, those of you who know me know why this is stupid, but just for fun we can review.
1. I do NOT run. This is not because I don't want to, I just cannot. Physically impossible.
2. 6:30am??????? Ummmm. Except for when my children are not sleeping through the night I am still in bed at this time. Thinking about it, even when they were not sleeping through the night, I was still in bed, because if they did wake up Matt would do this feeding. When Caroline or Owen are sick and awake at this time? I bring them into bed with me.
3. Refer to number 1.
Perhaps this will open the door to marking an accomplishment that I have had on my list for a while now - running a marathon (although I really think I would settle for a half). Something about runners I have always admired is their ability to just go out and do it. They always seem to be in great shape and have such a simple yet amazing workout. You and the road/trail.
On a side note, I did promise a while ago at a progressive dinner (during dessert) that I would run a half marathon in December in Kiawah. A little bit of a run/girls weekend. Think that is why I agreed to run tomorrow. Apparently in order to be ready I have to start training in August. I guess depending on tomorrow maybe I will attempt to check this one off by my 31st birthday. If I don't do it now, I think I may never manage to do it.
Okay, so any suggestions on how to get through tomorrow?

Can't wait to hear about the run! You'll feel great afterwards. I'm thinking about getting my butt out of bed to run around 6:15am - so I'll be thinking of you!
Oh honey. I feel your pain. I am horrible at it. Until I got my sinuses all surgeried up, I had never gotten under a 9 minute mile, I seriously couldn't breathe. Maybe the Ear Nose Throat doc can help?
I swear I'm going to get out of bed one of these days and do it too. I thought it might be today, but I was wrong. Maybe tomorrow, but I'm not betting on it.
good luck..let us know how it goes!!
