Trigger Happy

So maybe I'm a little trigger happy, but I stress the word happy in it all. After looking repeatedly at the cowtown website, feeling waves of excitement jolt through my body each time I did, and getting a long pep talk from LearAttack (Sarah)-who by the way made up a cheer for herself because she wears a purple and black bike top (purple and black, learattack!) Back to the point at hand, I registered for the Cowtown 50k! In the words of Jesse Spano (Saved by the bell) I'm so excited, I'm so excited, I'm so...scared ;) Really, I can't wait. Yesterday I had a discussion, entirely in my head of course, about what I wanted and what I was willing to do to get it. I want the 50K, I want to push myself to my limits, I want to stay disciplined, I want to feel myself breathing and my body working, knowing that I am alive, I want to spend more time seeing the world the Lord has given me to see, and I don't want to do it through a car window. As I'm typing this I have 190days six hours and eighteen minutes to get ready, but in my head I'm already there, now I have to train my body.
A-train- http://3girlstraining.blogspot.com/2007/11/i-am-runner.html this was when I knew I was a runner. November 27, 2007 was the day. Didn't know if you cared to read it, but it went with what we were talking about. It was the same time I am Legend came out in theaters, hence the title. The shirts are in the works, and I can't wait to see y'all in them in SA! SA or bust-LJ

Even though you stopped running after high school for some reason I have always thought you were a runner....maybe it was the twins?? maybe it was your mom and dad running down cedar pass??? I am so glad you have inspired so many to run as well... shame on those who say "I hate to run", there are so many more postives then negatives... some people I think just like to be negative... Good for you Lindsey Runner Lear....
