It just never occurred to me!

Holy Heck!! I have gone and lost my mind! I was on Facebook the other day and saw that a team running the "Cascade Lakes Relay" needed 5 runners and I volunteered to help fill the spots. Before you know it I got myself on the team and am now helping to run 216.6 miles in 36 hrs with 11 other poeple, 5 of which are my friends. GEEZUS!! I said I was going to stick to the run schedule I made in February- but noooooooo!!
I am actually excited in a way that I'm not fmiliar with, kind of a sickly excited really......I'm not sure weather to throw up, laugh or cry the last couple of days. Here's the thing- my nervous system has trouble with "Change of Plans" and this is a huge one!!
Number one on the list is load some mellow/happy/calming music on my mp3 and not forget it!! Being cramped in a van with 7 other people will be the biggest challenge for me- way OVER steming!! The running part I plan on doing my absolute best and I'm not nervous about the night legs now- picked up a pacer last night--YEAH FOR GINA!!
Can't wait to say " I DID IT"!!!

OMG

I don't think blogging is for me, but it occured to me today that I have a lot of thoughts bouncing in my head and that perhaps If I start writing them down- they might find an order??
First the planning of the "Happy Girls Half Marathon and 5k" is going along at an acceptable speed. I was out this morning with Susan and Stephanie deciding on trails. Still haven't completely decided the route, but it's coming together. Then there is the paperwork involved. First LLC, then proposal writing will begin. The website looks fabulous, Nikki is awesome!!
Oh ya, in the middle of this I am supposed to be training and looking for a job.
Training....
I just ran my 16th race overall since feb. 7th and my 5th 1/2 marathon since may 2nd. I keep improving little by little and have met all my goals in each race (some of which were...finish)! I am enjoying the running I am doing, but I feel like I was stronger a few months ago than I am now, so I am crosstraining again at Barre3 and redoing the training schedule. My new training partner is a real motivator and all my friends make the sport super fun!!
Job.....
I personally think some overly rich/bored person could pay me a salary to do what I do. I am TOO BUSY for a job!! I love volunteering and doing what I do when I am doing it! But, I do realize that a job is the way of my future and I am looking forward to not having to be so imaginative with my budget! I am getting tired of being broke and figuring out how to pay for the next race or dinner with friends... I am concerned about leaving Juice home alone even though I know she sleeps most of the day. I really look to her as my partner and will HATE time away from her!
"Normal" to me is a silly word and I do not understand why anyone has expectations of me- shouldn't I be the only one to impose on me (trust me I do it enough)?! So I have will be getting my resume updated and out to personel managers next week and within a few I will have a job and life as we all now Lenora living will soon come to an end.
The bright side..... I have learned how to incorporate running into my life and I can still run EVERY weekend!! YEAH!!
