Quite the busy day! Squeezed in a brisk little run between spray painting the t-shirts for the soccer girls and going to the team party. I have loved coaching, but it got a little overwhelming these past few weeks and I am just one person. I accidentally (ha ha) registered for the Secret City Half Marathon on the twentieth. I seriously do not have any idea whether I can do it. I figure that worst case scenario the time cap is three hours, so worst case scenario is that I run/walk for three hours. That sounds healthy. I work with this girl who has run at least two half marathons, and both times she ran with no training. I can not even imagine doing that. Both times, they were the rock 'n roll half marathon, which has a huge turnout and a different band at every mile. She's told me she doesn't think she would have been able to do it without the crowd and bands, which is interesting-- one's capabilities really do change dramatically based on the environment, which is somewhat determined by our literal surroundings and somewhat determined by our inner landscape.
