I'm running a 10K this Thanksgiving day. Why not? It'll be my first-ever race and, for a while there, I was debating whether to do a 5K vs a 10K. But, if I'm going to pay money to run, then I'm determined to get the most for my dollar. 10K, here I come!
I dunno, I've been a little obsessive about this running thing. I've noticed this obsessive behavior, but I was still a little surprised to hear Sunshine mention it as well. Lately, I've felt so powerless, so vulnerable... It seems that I have so little control of things around me that running seems like the only thing I can do, the only thing I can control or, at least, see some logic to it: if I run without stretching, I will be stiff and struggle. If, I don't run a couple of days, I will be moody and irritable. If I run, I can escape momentarily and enjoy what is beyond the everyday.
It's just scary that I can understand Krazy K or the need to shut out the white noise within.
Perhaps, we all have a little bit of it inside. I dunno, perhaps, it's all b/s and I just want great legs! Whatever it may be, I'm doing it this Thanksgiving day!
