i think i may be turning into a real runner

I planned on running this morning before work...i really did. It was only 3 miles so I was thinking it couldn't have been that bad, but my body was begging for more sleep so instead of running I decided to give myself a little birthday present and sleep in (sad how my "sleeping in" is only until 6:45). And now I'm sitting here, wondering when it is I'm possibly going to get the chance to run because I know if I don't I'm going to feel super guilty about it...and we all know working straight from 8am to 10 pm doesn't give me ANY time to fit it in to my whacky schedule. I was thinking, though, that with the condition and soreness of my shins, I'll just give my body another day's rest and do it tomorrow morning before work. Ehhh, no rest the day before a 10k is the best way to go, right?

In other news...yesterday during lunch I decided to see which running clubs I could join and what races were out there that I could sign up for, and being from Columbus, Ohio and knowing I desperately want to go back home for a bit, I think I may register for the Columbus 1/2 marathon. I absolutely love downtown Columbus so what better way to visit than to run 13 miles!!

I must say that going into this marathon my only thought/goal were to complete this ONE marathon and then be done with running forever. Yet, as each week of training passes by I find myself wanting to run more and more, and already I've signed up for 2 other races in the past month. I'm not quite sure but I think I may be turning into a real runner. I LOVE THIS!
