The Countdown Has Begun

I never pretended to be good at this regular blogging thing...but here is an update for all of you who haven't given up hope that I would write again eventually. 

This Saturday, Jessica and I are running a 5k.  It's going to be cold.  I can feel it.  I'm actually really nervous about it.  I used to do this in high school.  I'd get nervous like a week before the actual race, and be miserable until it actually started.  I'm not miserable yet, but that old knot in the stomach is definitely there.  I just don't know if I'm ready for this.  Yesterday, I biked 7 miles, then ran on the elliptical for 3 miles.  I hope that means I can run 3.1 without killing myself.  

Until then, I'm going to do the elliptical again today (my apt doesn't have working treadmills and it's really really miserable outside) and I've started carbing up.  I don't have any breathing treatments, and am still fighting with the insurance company to get some so I'll be doing this sans medication.  This should be interesting...
