Signing Up is the First Step

I’m procrastinating but also excited to share that yesterday I registered for the Lehigh Valley half marathon!

After running the race in 2005, I was shut out last year because I registered too late. So BMI boy and I decided to do a half the same day in New Jersey. A day before the race I canceled, following a series of oh, mishaps and mistakes, and instead urban sunbathed on my apartment roof with Kim sipping margaritas and wondering if I would ever get my shit together. Oh, how time flies.

Anyway. The race start is approx. 5 blocks from my house at at $40, you can’t get much cheaper. Kim’s doing the 5K (Welcome back, Kimberly!).

When: April 29.
Start: 8 a.m.
Estimated finish time: TBD

Oh and I also met with the local director of Girls on the Run. It’s an even better program than I thought. Through physical activities girl are taught self-esteem and confidence, and ethics and life skills. And at the end is a 5K. I’m probably gonna be stuck on the fundraising and promotions side because of my work schedule, but it’s better than nothing.

I am walking around with a lightness I haven't felt in months. I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes....

Last weekend I headed to the Bronx to visit a guy I had met in November. He showered me with attention, and even booked a limo for our Saturday night outing at this new club. I am starting to get used to this single life...
