For the Fun of It

This weekend is the weekend of my race I talked about in a much early post. I was planning on working my way up to a 5k using Couch Potato to 5k...but that didn't happen. Frankly, I got busy and the race wasn't a big enough priority for me to put that ahead of other things I needed to get done. But such is life. I am still planning on participating, but it will be as a walker and not a runner.

I am okay with that though. I never had the intention of going out there to break my own personal best record, which wouldn't be very difficult seeing as I walked the majority of the 5k last year. I am doing this for fun.

I know when I pick up my registration information on Saturday I will be among avid runners who have been training for months and months for the half-marathon or the full marathon. I applaud them, but have no desire to be in their shoes.

My brother has been working hard to train for the half marathon and it will be fun to watch him and our friends cross the finish line. So I am excited about that part of it. But since I have no expectations of the event, I will only be able to exceed them! So I will be up early Sunday morning to have fun and enjoy the atmosphere. Who cares about the running part!!
