Ruuuuun, Rachael, Runnnn!!!


Well I was recently encouraged by my friend, Karen to get off my lazy bum and start running again--for real. I was so jealous that she had finished a half marathon (not that I have any intention of doing that whatsoever) that I have signed up for a 5k. I know you are all impressed. This is a big deal. I could not be more excited. At this point there are only two things I am really worried about. 1: My good friend Desi will have her baby the day before and I will have to skip the race to be the much needed friend-who-is-already-a-mommy and 2: Perchance #1 does not happen, what am I going to wear? Right now I always run in running shorts and this old beat up tank top from my junior year of high-school that I just love. I was thinking about maybe making a tank top to wear. Like buying one and decorating it with fabric paint. Would that be so cheesey? Maybe. But does that matter to me? Probably not. Then I was thinking about maybe wearing my uniform from high school just to be funny. ha! Not really. I doubt I even fit in it but I do still have it.

By the way, just for kicks I googled my maiden name to see if I could find any old XC history but alas there was none!
