bigtime stuff

i think i am going to do the bellingham bay marathon in october. the first ever. the one and only. and also my first ever. i'm excited but nervous because i haven't found a training partner or training group and the next 16 weeks are going to involve A LOT of running and it is going to be very hot out. i am about to run 12 miles with my friend bekka who, unfortunately for me, will be moving away in about a month and might not be able to accompany me on runs ever again. so i am eating a whole wheat english muffin with peanut butter (it is very, very, very delicious for some reason - maybe because it's toasted? or because i'd rather be sitting and eating than getting ready to go?) and thinking about how i should go put on my super athletic pink running tank top (it makes me kind of self conscious...it just seems so official like i think i'm bigtime stuff) and probably sunscreen and brush my teeth. boring! i'm glad i have a partner for today.

is anybody interested in doing the inaguaral bellingham bay marathon, half marathon, or 10k on october 7??? you can
"be a part of history", as the website told me i could. and you can train with me!

question: what is your favorite team sport and why OR what is your favorite solo sport/activity and why?

time to go....

i am interested in doing the half marathon. and i should be running right now but i feel too full. i shouldn't have eaten so much at dinner. but i went on a good run two days ago. i will try and go tomorrow.

so my favorite team sport is soccer. probably because i played it more than anything else. i like how it is a game of skill and endurance and teamwork. i like the pace of it and the physicality of it. like some contact, but not too much. i also like football, but didn't get to play that as much. Favorite solo sport is probably tennis. is that a solo sport? it is if it's singles, right? that's what i choose. tennis is fun. and badminton, but that was usually doubles when i played. and pickle ball! i love pickle ball!! oh i like ice skating too. this is too hard.
