Holy shit, I'm running again.
Mom asked me to run with her in Napa in April, and I had a choice to sign up for 5k or half-marathon. I can do 5k now, and I could be ready for a half before the end of the year if I really needed to, so I was like fuck it and registered for the half. So now I'm training for that.
In service of that training, I signed up for a 5k in September and a 10k in November. I scrolled past all the big destination runs, like Rock and Roll and Golden Gate, and found a couple of chill-looking local runs, trying to keep my shit low-stress, you know? Then my coworker saw me in my running clothes and we got to talking and she invited me to do the Golden Gate with her family. Then my gym buddies saw my runs on the app and they invited me to go to Rock and Roll with them.
So now I'm registered for twice as many runs as I had intended to register for. I guess we're doing this.
I'm super happy about this. I feel great.
