On Sunday I overheard some girls at the pool talking about gym class in high school. "She almost failed gym in high school ... how in the world do you even manage that?"
Which of course reminds me of my own high school gym class, which is part of the reason I said I would never run. You see, Jennifer and I signed up for a baseball/softball/racquet sports gym class with Coach Bazzle .... mostly because we figured there would be a lot of boys in the class. We were right, and for the most part, the class was pretty fun ... save for one assignment. That one assignment was to run a mile around the track, which doesn't seem like a big deal, but to me and Jennifer it was. We decided to run about 1/12 of a lap, and then just decided that we'd walk until the time was up and take a failing grade for the assignment.
Needless to say, when I've told people that I'm running a 1/2 marathon, it typically elicits a chuckle. I get it, it really makes me laugh too because it's completely out of character for me! No worries .... I'll aim high and see where I land!
