I've decided to get my butt in shape and start running. I've been the laziest piece of crap since hike school and it needs to change! I went and bought new kicks for the training period which starts tomorrow. I am training to run the Wasatch Back Relay in June with 11 other people. Not to worry, we are only a recreational team. The point of the race is, of course to win ("it's a race and I'm winning!") and to run for 24 hours straight raising money for children. Sounds like a good cause, plus, I'm going to get in shape.
The course will cover the entire back side of the Wasatch Mountain Range in Utah for 173 miles (Logan (Go Aggies) to Park City). Each runner will run three to six miles about three or four times for a grand total of about 18 miles! We need a team name, so if anyone is reading this, and this isn't a very popular blog, and can come up with something not vulgar, crude, or just plain sick, please do share. We will have a rally car, and I'm so hoping it is like the van from Dumb and Dumber (the Shaggin' Wagon). So far we have five or six people committed to running (does that mean 5.7 people? Deep thoughts by Darby).
So, I've committed to run off my behind. Run?...Fun? HECK YES!!
I am so pumped about this! And, a bit freaked, considering I don't call myself "a runner." But, I'm starting up the training tomorrow too, so let the games begin! Booyeah!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! Booyeah! I'm stoked to run. Should be a rockin' good time!
