Miracle Match 5k Aftermath

so for the past few years
i've been doing this thing at the end of january

with really no problem at all

probably because i actually put for some real effort

to, you know, avoid what i've been dealing with the past two days

the aftermath of a 5k

which means i run 3.1 miles

in the cold-ass morning

with a bunch of other people

all supporting marrow donation

{http://miraclematchmarathon.org/}

and being good people for it

because what normal people pay money to run?

you can do that for free outside

am i right?

anyways, this year i signed up with high hopes

but then life happened

and before i knew it, race day was upon me

and i seriously considered not doing it

because i'd only really ran like 6 times
in the past two weeks

and no where near 3 miles

but then i thought,

no. i will do it. i can do it. it won't be that bad, right?

and it wasn't...

until the next day when i'm pretty sure my husband was convinced i need a walker

{complete with tennis balls on the bottom}
and new carpet with all the shuffling my feet were doing

and the random moaning that would escape my lips

as i'd do anything

still though, i think it was worth it because

 i actually did run 1.5 miles without stopping

{which i've never done before}

i may be slow as molasses

{seriously, a woman with a stroller passed me}

but i did it

i.finished.it

and have already signed up for another one come March

{i plan to be much better prepared for this one!}

so, if anyone in the central texas area
would like to join me

i can almost exactly promise you these things

*that you'll be faster than me*
*we will listen to some awesome music*
and
*just when you think you can go no more,
i will loudly cheer you on, almost to the point of embarrassment...

almost*
