So the race is 8 weeks away.... I haven't been running nor even to the gym for 3 weeks now! (I know I know) So I was looking through things again and realized that a 5k is only 3.1 miles! How easy! So I called April all excited that it wasn't as long as I thought and.... well burst my bubble. It's a 10k were running! lol So I had the distance right the first time, just not the name of the race. haha. So now I am all scared. I have been trying to kick this fear and I even made myself a little training sheet to follow. Now is just implementing it and DOING it! It shouldn't been too hard, its just a mental thing right?? Here are a few quotes I found that I like!
"Racing teaches us to challenge ourselves. It teaches us to push beyond where we thought we could go. It helps us to find out what we are made of. This is what we do. This is what it's all about."
-PattiSue Plumer, U.S. Olympian
"The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start."
-John Bingham, running speaker and writer
"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it you will land among the stars."
-Les Brown
"Mental will is a muscle that needs exercise, just like the muscles of the body."
-Lynn Jennings
"He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life."
- Muhammad Ali
So now all I need to is to get an mp3 player or something. Mine broke forever ago, but I think the music will help immensely with my focus. I get so distracted while running...
Well hope everyone is doing great! We are, we are all moved and packed/unpacked and just waiting to hear from BYU. Keep Ty in your prayers please! We really are hoping he gets accepted for January! :)

I totally agree. I have great ambitions when it comes to exercise and running but its the actual doing part that gives me trouble. :) I know you can do it though. Good luck! And music really helps me a ton too. Otherwise all I can think about it how bad my lungs and legs burn. Music is a great distraction.
