I watched the inauguration this morning in my office via live feeds on the Internet, all while instant messaging my older sister who was doing the same thing in England. It was pretty awesome. I am keeping my fingers crossed for Obama to do spectacular things while in office! Watching him speak about the state of our country always leaves me very hopeful.
I’m also hopeful about my foot finally healing… and as a result, I registered for another half marathon! When I did my first 5k in April of last year it was at an annual fundraising event in Portland—each year they host a 5K and a half marathon. So I figured what better way to celebrate my run-iversary than to run the half marathon at the same race? So that’s my plan. It’s on April 5, which means I shall start training ASAP. After that I should be in good shape to train throughout the summer for the Portland marathon in the fall. I love registering for things early cause if I’ve already paid my registration fee it motivates me more, for some reason. Nothing will get me out the door for a run during the remaining months of winter like having already spent money, I guess.
At first I was calling it my running-iversary, but then I realized that run-iversary sounded better. Don’t lie to yourself; we all know it’s a lovely new term. Happy inauguration day! Yay, America!
