Im scared.

I participated in a boot camp last night. We ran a total of 5k, we lunged, we planked. I nearly died.

It occurred to me during the "warm up" - a few laps around the enormous park - that this is not going to be easy. OBVIOUSLY ITS NOT GOING TO BE EASY AMANDA. Silly rabbit. Ok, so I knew that when I made the decision to do this. That's the whole point: its a challenge. I just want you all to know that I'm scared.

I woke up this morning and it was dark outside. Fall, has fallen. I decided last night while limping home (my legs already in pain) that it would be a good idea to go to a 7am hot yoga class today. Get a good stretch in so I'm capable of running around serving wings to people every night for the rest of the week.  I got dressed with my eyes closed and promptly left my apartment before I could convince myself that my bed was a better option.  I took a picture of myself for your viewing pleasure.

Let me tell you that although yoga always feels good, I could barely hold myself up on the subway on the way home. There was a guy standing behind me and I'm pretty sure I stepped on his foot a total of 9 times between St.Clair and College station. Sorry buddy.

So I don't have a plan yet. This half marathon is in 4 weeks, give or take, and I have no plan. I'm just kind of winging this whole thing, which is probably why fear has set in so quickly.

I know that tonight I will try to run for about 30 minutes. It is going to be difficult because I'm already exhausted and it's only 10am. My ass is killing me, and my inner thighs HATE ME. If you have any music recommendations that will carry me through tonight's run, PLEASE let me know in the comment section below. I need all the help I can get because right now I'm daydreaming of a night that involves Thai food and Bill Murray movies.

I'd really love to raise some money for the cause (besides my ass) I'm running for - The Renascent Foundation. If you would like to make a donation to our team, please click here.
