Just a little preview of what yours truly will be up to this Thursday at the GHI Workforce Challenge 5K in downtown Albany ... Actually I expect that the race winners will be on their third beer or so by the time I cross the finish line. It's my first race of any sort, ever, and I'm not thinking of it as a race so much as a valiant attempt to finish. It's supposed to be a little chilly and overcast but hopefully the rain will hold out - I've never attempted a run in the rain and I'm assuming my sneakers aren't waterproof.
It was funny because yesterday I was talking to one of the court officers about the race, and he said, "you don't seem like the type to run a race," and I said, "I'm definitely not the type to run a race!" I have never been and will never be an athlete, but I'm starting to think that this is truly necessary for my health. And wouldn't you know, after eight weeks I'm kinda starting to like the whole running thing. A little tiny bit.
