I just don't care... that's bad, right?
Luke's Locker 20k in a little less than 2 weeks.
I should be worried that the longest run I've done is only 8 miles, right?
I should be worried about this nagging pain in my left knee, right?
I should be worried that I'm having trouble maintaining a pace of under 13:00/mile, right?
I should know better based on last year's results, right?
It worries me that I'm not worried about all this stuff.
I know I can do a half marathon... I know I can do 20k. I did that last January with very, very little training... probably about as much as I've already done.
However, last year I was aiming for a full, and I failed. Why can't I get out there and run? I don't like to fail. Failure sucks. Sucks big time. It stings. It's a bitter, bitter, hateful pill.
I also know I'm running out of time. Tick tock... tick tock... tick tock... Playing catch up is hard to do when you're fat, slow, and out of shape like me. I can barely play keep up, how am I going to catch up?
I'm going to have to kick it in gear, and kick it in soon, otherwise I'll fail before I even begin.

Well, I've lost weight, and I always wanted to run, but I never attempted to start... Guess we're in a similar situation. Maybe I'll start running to support you, what do you say? ;)
Thanks for the support. I know I'm not in this alone... big community ready to cheer me along the route. Too bad they won't carry me across the finish.
Joe,
Join the Striders next Sunday at Terry Hershey Park at 7:00 a.m. and do a 10K or 20K.
This is for the folks that are volunteering for the 20K the following Sunday; however, all of our club members are welcomed to come out as well as whoever shows up.
Come out, have some fun with us and get back on track!
Jon
