The Great Wall Half-Marathon (eep...)

If I post this up then I have to do it.

Ugh... here goes.

A team of HNCers are signing up to run the Great Wall Marathon on May 21st. At first I was like HELL NO, I've never run more than 5K and that was a run-WALK! But after thinking about it more I realized that it's a challenge worth going up against. There's no reason why I can't finish it... aside from the fact that I'm basically a Big Fat Blob these days. Well guess what, B.F.B. is going to train herself into Rocky Balboa, starting Monday!

YES -- I'm going to do The Great Wall (Half) Marathon! O_O

I really can't bring myself to exercise unless I have a hard goal... like blowing off steam, winning a competition, or learning a new skill/trade (pole dancing, anyone?). I just don't find pleasure in feeling my muscles cramp and burn, in accidentally ingesting small insects, in stinky armpits. But these days I'm feeling quite smushy and I'm going to throughly defeat this smushiness by destroying myself on the Great Wall. I have the best logic ever. :)

I'll probably be swearing under my breath (and audibly) the whole race, especially on those horrible parts of the wall where you basically have to scamper on your hands and knees... but at the end of the day I think it'll be a nice check in the box for "Awesome Shit I Did". And a great conversation starter to pick up some hotties at the bar. :)
