(who I am not particularly a fan of in the first place). I wanted to start over like every year. I woke up to 36 degree weather with drizzly nasty rain and spent 30 minutes trying to talk myself out of going in the comfort of my warm and cozy bed. But in the spirit of the New Year I dragged my butt outta bed and got all bundled up, grabbed a Kind bar and a V8Fusion with extra energy and shuffled out the door. I cursed myself as I got into the cold car and watched the windshield wipers lazily wipe away misty drizzly rain. But I did it. I drove to Lifetime Fitness and was not surprised to see very few cars in the vast parking lot.
I checked my email to make sure I had the right location. I just want to point out here that I have been getting emails for a week saying that come rain or shine the race will happen. Also, bring your old shoes it will probably be wet and muddy. Well my new email says that they decided to cancel and were doing sort of a treadmill 5K at 9am.....the actual race wasn't supposed to start til 10am.
I went in and there were some people checking in. I was offered the chance to workout there but I turned them down. I grabbed my Commitment T-shirt and decided to go to the Zumba class at my gym. I laughed at the irony all the way there. Something else kind of funny: last year the shirt said "5k walk/run" fairly large under the letter "C" and this year it seems to be missing.
Also honestly I am glad it got canceled. I really didn't want to walk out in the cold rainy weather and it was nice and toasty at 24 hour fitness.
