So apparently I can't tell Kenzy no....

So I'm at my best friend's wedding breakfast this morning and I get this text from Kenzy..."Want to run ragnar with me for free. We lost a team member. It will be a blast." I would like to point out that although "It will be a blast.", she did not use any exclamation marks, only periods. So I'm thinking, "Heck no! That's in like four weeks and there is no way I would be ready to run that far!" But I text her, "...how far." She calls me a few minutes later and doesn't really answer the question, but gets me really confused talking about how far she is running and never really tells me how far the missing team member was supposed to run...but I tell her sure...as long as the other team members know that I'm not fast...she says, "Neither am I!" Except here is the thing. Last week we both ran in a 5K and she finished about a minute and a half before me, so obviously she runs faster!

So I'm running Ragnar on June 18th. I think my longest leg is 9 miles, which before my leg hurting I probably would have been on top of my training and ready to run that, but now I'm not doing so good. So I have a lot of work to do in the next three weeks, since I should rest the week before....Right well. we'll see how that goes! I'll keep you updated. I'm thinking of turning this blog in to "The Confessions of a Wannabe Runner." :0) I can come up with some funny stories I've experienced during training and racing!

oh good luck! I hear that is super hard- especially after no sleep and then you gotta run 3 legs. I'd come cheer you on if I wasn't working! Yea for megan!
