Story Time
This has been the first blog post that I have had no idea of what I could write about. Needless to say, I wish I had a funny or interesting story to tell that has happened to me while working on this project. Sadly, though, I don't. I think for this weeks post I am just going to talk about how I felt the day before the color run, which is today. Yes the color run is tomorrow. So some of the feelings that I am experiencing right now are excited, fearful, invigorated, daunted, anxious, and ready.
Excited: This is what I have been training for. This is what has been a motivation for me to keep going. The idea of running in a 5k has helped me to push myself. This experience is bound to be a ton of fun! Plus, how can you not be excited when there is a before the run zumba warm up and an after run dance party!
Fearful: Like I said before, I have been training for this. I am expecting myself to run all of it. How can I not be fearful? I know that no matter what I will be happy and proud of myself, but I still I know that I will be even more proud and happy if I ran all of it.
Invigorated: I am feeling very invigorated and energized in the thought of doing this. I cant wait to be running. I cant wait to be accomplishing something that I have been wanting to do for years.
Daunted: I feel like this is like the feeling of being fearful, but I am definitely intimidated by the thought of doing this. I know that this is super easy for a lot of people, but it is definitely a challenge. I am so happy that I have accepted this challenge.
Ready: I am ready to kick this 5k in the butt! I am ready to feel even more accomplished! I am excited to just experience this! I am ready to do what I have been training for. I am ready to say that I have accomplished this challenge successfully! I am ready to get covered in color! I am ready to do this.
As you can probably tell, I am experiencing a lot of different emotions! Ones that are hard for me to truly convey. The color run is tomorrow, so I will definitely take a ton of pictures to show! I am nervous, but ready for this. I also went and signed in for the run today, along with getting the clothes that they gave us to wear... Which included knee high socks, a bandanna, sunglasses, etc... That got me amped up for tomorrow. Especially since in my family you cant just go somewhere and have fun. No no, that's just not how things work. We have to look like idiots to have fun. The clothes will help us accomplish this level of fun and embarrassment!
Also, I am sorry that this blog might have been boring to read... Trust me though, I will have exciting things to talk about in my next blog!
I can't wait to hear how it went. It was raining right?
ReplyDeleteYa it was
DeleteThat is so awesome! I want to know how the race goes! Did you feel prepared for the race? Do you wish you would've trained more?
ReplyDeleteThank you! I felt prepared for the most part, but the week of the race I definitely slacked due to the stress of finals and preparing for finals. I wish I could have changed that and trained more during that week. Overall, though, I felt very prepared.
DeleteIm excited to hear how it went! I was looking forward to go this year but we got busy and couldn't make it maybe next year for me
