FitBloggin….eek

Posted on May 18, 2011 | 4 Comments

I had all these plans of doing a big post on FitBloggin, about my nerves, the schedule I planned on having, and the like. But, THIS happened! And well, let’s face it, that’s a wee bit more exciting than FitBloggin. Haha.

I’m nervous. I’m not as nervous as I thought I would be, but still feeling jittery. It’s the thought of a totally new situation and meeting ‘new’ people. I put new in quotes because I feel like you’re old people….wait….not old people…just people I feel like I already know. Lol.

Along with nerves I’m also EXTREMELY excited! I cannot wait to meet all of you amazing bloggers. I’m sure there will be lots of hugs, screaming, and jumping up and down. Well, hopefully or I’ll be looking pretty silly doing these things myself. Oh and make sure your cameras are charged, cause there will be lots of picture taking I’m sure.

I’m still trying to work out the FitBloggin schedule to fit in the other things I want to do. B-Fry is coming along, so we want to hit up the aquarium for sure and maybe some other things. So, please know that if I bail a little early, it’s cause I’m off to spend some time with my amazing FIANCE! I hope that a lot of you can meet him too. I’m a little stressed about working everything out, but I’m sure it will be just fine in the end. Because it always is.

Today is going to be crazy for me. I haven’t packed at thing nor have I made my t-shirt. I have lists made and laundry in the washer….so I guess it’s a start.

What do you think I should bring along? And if you’re coming to FitBloggin, what are you most excited about?

I’m most excited to meet Shauna….like friggin pumped!!

My First…

Posted on June 7, 2010 | 17 Comments

Let’s be honest…

I’m scared shitless for this 5K on Saturday.

I’ve never done a 5K race before…ever. Not even walked in one. I have no idea what to expect, which is part of the reason I’m scared.

Fear of the unknown.

I know nothing about 5K races except that it’s 3.1 miles long and Race For The Cure is a pretty big deal. There will be a lot of people there which also scares me. I fear looking like an idiot out there running this thing. Stupid, but true.

It also doesn’t help that I’m now doing this alone. Jared backed out on me on Saturday for reasons unknown. It really ticks me off and actually hurts that he backed out. I wanted someone there to rock it out with me and cheer me on.

But I’ll be alone. (Thanks, asshat)

My mom did talk of walking it, but she’s still not sure. Either way, I’ll be out there running it solo.

I also fear that I’m not completely prepared for the race. I have had some decent runs lately, but have only run 3 miles once this past week. I feel like I should be running 3 miles at some sort of consistency. Not everyday, but more than once a week. Maybe I’m asking too much of myself. I don’t know.

I fear I’m going to get there and quit halfway through. Or I just may decide not to run it at all. I’m a champ at talking myself out of things.

All I can do is go out there and give it my all. Try my best and rock it out.

I do know I will be rocking my I Am My Own Superhero tshirt and proving to myself that I really am my own superhero. So, at least there’s that. Oh and I’ll be sure to find someone to take my picture after the race. I need the proof for my Bucket List and of course to share with all of you!

Hopefully this pit in my stomach will go away. Oh and the horrible pain I have in my hip. I’ve been told it’s my IT band and I’ll be stretching it a great deal this week. Don’t want to be sidelined for my first race.

I guess I’m asking for tips and encouraging words. Also, anyone wanna come to Iowa and run with me on Saturday? )
