In the course of the telling, several friends have pledged to attend the race so they can
When I talk about the half-marathon (frequently, as I prefer to over-examine the things that make me anxious) I find myself saying that I'm 'not really a runner' - which I'm not, because I kinda suck at it.
That statement was thrown back at me this morning by the salesperson who was helping me find the correct running sneakers. "Once you start doing half-marathons", he said "I think that makes you a runner."
Ok. New mindset. My name is ridiculouschick, and I am a runner. Who doesn't suck.
The first step is acceptance.

run, ridiculouschick. run like the wind.
Rock on ridiculous
I kidded you about this the other day. But, you're doing it and that's impressive. So, not only do I take back my little jab (as fun-loving as I meant it to be!) I say this to you now: I will join you. Email me the details and let's start training! No, I'm not drunk and there's no hot dog in my mouth. I WILL RUN THE HALF MARATHON WITH YOU. Just let me know where to sign up.
I've run a few 5k's - same thing, right?
That's awesome!
I think my comment got lost... but basically I said that a half marathon is just 4 5k's in a row! No big deal. Looking forward to running with you!
