I Think I Might Be Crazy

OK. I just got done with my run. Only 1 mile on the treadmill but it is better than nothing. That is my second run in less than 6 days. I am trying hard not to overdo it and get too crazy. Just trying to be consistent.
Today during my run, a crazy idea struck me. Why not sign up for the Indy Mini (half marathon)? The race isn’t until May. Where did that thought come from? It must have been from the a weak moment.
Two years ago I had signed up for the Indy Mini after running two 5Ks. Then I got to sick and had to stop running. The doctors didn’t know what was wrong with me which led to a lot of tests not to mention that I felt lousy and could barely function let alone run.
All of those old self doubts are creeping back in. What am I even doing thinking of signing up? But on the other hand, signing up would help me make sure that I kept my eating in track. But I hate pain! Pain is inevitable when training. What a sense of pride when I cross the finish line.
I think I am going to have to put some serious thought in to this. I might just do it. I know that I don’t have long to make up my mind. The field always fills up early and if I decide to make the plunge, I don’t want to not get in.
I am going to talk to my husband, Chris, the runner. I will keep everyone posted.
