I woke up with some shin pain Friday morning and decided that it would an "extra" cross training day instead of an easy run. I ended up riding the stationary bike for 20 minutes and lifting weights for thirty. This morning I helped build a deck on my first ever Habitat Build. After several unsuccessful attemps at driving nails, I became the official "go-fer" of the group.
I have been toying with the idea of running the half at next weekend's Carmel Marathon, which is about an hour and a half away from my house. I would have to drive up the night before since there is no race day packet pick-up. It looks like an awesome race, but there's an issue. No one else I know is running, DH doesn't want to go, and my mom has other plans for the weekend. So I would have to go alone and stay in a hotel by myself, something I am too much of a ninny to have done before and that I'm a little scared by. What would you do?
I usually end up doing races by myself and I've travelled for a few. It is definitely more fun with other people, and it can be scary to do it by yourself, but if it is something that you want to do, I'd do it. Plus doing something scary oftentimes makes it that much more fulfilling once it is done (in my humble opinion).
ReplyDeleteIt could be an adventure! I think if you really want to run it, you should do it. :)
ReplyDeleteHey! You should definitely try it if you really want to run it. If you're just so/so then pass, I say!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what I would do! If you really want to run it, I say go for it! :0)
ReplyDeleteYay for Habitat! My husband helped build a house when he was in college - such a rewarding experience! :0)
Just wanted to check in on you - hope you come back to blogging soon!
