Fine I'll Jump On Board

Since I know all of you who read my blog also read Tru Stories and OCH, you know that a bunch of us are running this stupid race on Sunday. Not only is it five miles and taking place on a holiday, it's a 0730. This is probably the dumbest idea anyone has ever had. It's not even for charity. I found out on Wednesday that it's to raise money for some running club. So more people can run more stupid races or something like that.

Number of days I've spent training: 1

When that training took place: 2 months ago

Mileage covered on day of training: to the end of the lane to get the mail

Other preparation: Stupid race yoga

Minutes of stupid race yoga that felt like deep tissue massage: zero

What's worse than my complete lack of dedication to stupid race? Being promised a walking partner and then finding out two days ago that said "walking" partner has a goal of doing twelve minute miles.

Odds I'm screwed: 100%

Factor by which you have to multiply length of my legs to get length of lying stupid "walking" partner's legs: 4

Maybe if I take my bike and ride along I won't get last, or be able to finish for that matter.
