Race Update

The Dreaded 5Mile is exactly 2 months away.
I am sure, many of you, are interested in my tough training regimen and as to never disappoint...I felt an update was in order.

(It is funny to me that I titled this a 'Race' Update, implying I may actually 'Race' anyone to the finish.)

Time until the Dreaded 5Mile: 2 months
Time passed since I announced my ridiculous intention to participate:
7 weeks-ish

Books purchased on Running a 5K: 2
Pages read in either book: 0

Time spent in the company of those discussing the race: MANY hours

Shorts purchased to possibly wear:
2. They are cute. I need matching tanks.

Time spent on treadmill: maybe 2 1/2 hrs
Minutes, of those hours, spent actually running:
14 minutes.
Divided into 3 separate occasions.
Weeks apart from each other.

Degree of Runner's High, I experienced:
None, I felt sweaty and confused.

Time spent walking on the street/outside terrain:
One block, dropping Tink at preschool, twice a week.
Time spent running on street/outside terrain:
None
(dang people, I do not run in public!)

The degree to which I was inspired to train more, after The Commish and Warhol recently participated in another 5Mile:
None. As a matter of fact, I felt less uninspired. If that is possible.

Confidence that I will finish all 5Miles:
100% (that is where my ride will be waiting)

Confidence that I will finish in a Respectable time that will not embarrass Coach and our children:
I don't know, maybe 18%. Is that too high?

As you can see, training right on schedule.
Actually, I may be a little ahead of the game.


Coach's Update:

Occasions he has been running:
Twice

Shoes purchased for the event:
1 pair, contemplating another

Expectation that he will probably better his original superflyawesome time:
Inevitable.

Amount people hate him: Lots.
