So, I'm training for the Los Angeles AIDS marathon that's happening on March 4th. I think that's a Sunday. I'm out of my mind excited about doing this. I know that physically the challenges won't be enough to get me down, because even though it will be hard, I have a lot of support, and as I've heard and read many times already, running a marathon involves not even the tiniest fraction of the discomfort that someone with AIDS might feel. So it will be worth it. but I'm really nervous about the fundraising. I've pledged to raise $1500.00 by December 4th, and I'm just scared. I'm not good at talking to people about that sort of thing and asking people for money, but it's a good cause, so I just have to not be scared and not procrastinate, because without it, my running will only mean something to me, which is okay, but just not what I'm setting out to do.
The first training run was yesterday, and I'm a little sore, which I feel lame about because it was only 3 miles and I didn't run quickly at all, but..I've got to start somewhere. And now that I showed up to the first run, I'm feeling much less nervous about the whole thing. I have to run 30 minutes on my own twice this week and cross-training is 'strongly recommended' so i'm trying to decide whether my morning sprint to the bus stop counts...
in other news, the school year started! it's all going well so far. Greek is a ridiculous non-stop pile of homework, but it's cool and it's fun to be translating something with meter, even though we haven't learned about the meter yet. all in time. I'm still just feeling out the rest of my classes, working, la dee da. i really like being in Venice so far. mmm...yeah. Emma was here which was super fun - the yearly visit is now tradition. She's a little ball of sunshine to our daily LMU lives.
