Don't ask

Because I have yet to go out and do so much as a brisk walk let alone any real practicing for this stupid race. I am taking the loser way out, and might not do it. I tried on Sunday, but then got about 20 feet and wondered what the heck the point was. I still haven't found that mental motivation? Why do people run? I guess I need a bear to chase me or something, because frankly, I don't get it. I'm hoping putting together some kind of upbeat mix on my ipod might do something for my motivation. Otherwise...dump it. We are officially on our fall break from school right now, as of today. I have to go back Tuesday, Oct. 6 and the kids go back the next day. I gave myself until then to determine whether I was going to do the run or not. On the assumption that I could have some practice time over break. If you haven't guessed yet, the dirty dishes in the sink, the piles of laundry to be put away, and I won't even go into what else needs to be steam cleaned now, will all take precedence. And I think I have a $20 gift card to TJ Maxx that might need some attention...do you think a running outfit would inspire me?
