I am such a wuss sometimes....
Jul. 23rd, 2013 04:54 pmI am getting some friendly pressure from my BF to run in next years 1/2 marathon for the Derby Festival and I really don't want to do it. Mainly because I am lazy.
Maybe lazy isn't the right word. I am NOT physically prepared to run 11.1 miles (I know some of you can do that in your sleep) and I don't have the time nor the inclination to train for it. Gone are the days when I could just "do it". The race is next April and while that seems far off - believe me I will need all that time and then some to get my runners legs back. I will have to train and train hard. I haven't run in over a year and it's been months since my bike has seen the light of day. I have been on a yoga binge and that is where my work out quota has been spent. As great as Bikram is - it won't prepare you for a half marathon. I am flexible and lean and feel strong - but it's a different kind of strong than what I need for running. Night and day.
I can't believe I am stressing over this so much - I should just say no and mean it.
