death race

i signed up for my first 5k. it is this saturday. i will not flake out on this. i will not flake out on this partly because it cost $40. this has nothing to do with a new years resloution. i think those things are lame. if you want to change something, don't wait until the first of the year to do it. i am doing this to know that i can do it. i am pretty nervous, but i got some good pointers from a friend that has run a couple marathons. he will be participating in the half marathon on the same day. hopefully i don't barf. i have been running about two or three times a week for the past few weeks, but the copious amounts of alcohol i drank during the new years celebration in big bear has probably more than cancelled that out. my next goal is to run a 10k. baby steps.
