I'm happy I signed up. Last night I got that anxious feeling like "what am I doing???" But as I got my clothes and shoes laid out, I told myself to just chill; this is nothing, just a walk in the park. I tend to freak myself out for no reason and maybe a part of me just likes the anxiety. Fortunately a louder part said, "for gods sakes please just chill this time" so I did. I loved every minute of it, even that first half mile.
The morning scene at Land Park was beautiful. I'd say about 70 women were there which to me seemed incredible. We split off into two groups. I went with the runners and we did some warm-ups and form drills and then a 2 mile assessment run. I completed it in 21 minutes, which was good for me. They use this run to find a pace group for us for our runs over the next 6 weeks. I am stoked.
I think another part of why I love it is that I didn't experience this in HS and I look back on that time and regret that I didn't participate. I think I would have loved it and done well. Hmmm… the Fleet Feet coaches seem much nicer than what I remember at LCHS so I really have few regrets. ;-) In many ways I’m blessed to have the opportunity and desire to do it now. At times it can feel like all is right with the world.
Tonight we’re heading up to Napa to see Cowboy Junkies at the Napa Valley Opera House. I saw Dar Williams there and it is a lovely venue and has a beautiful sound. XOXO to my one blog reader.
