One of my resolutions...and more balanced asymmetry

If I document it, it's real, right? Last year I blogged about wanting to run a half marathon. Guess what, the one I was originally planning on doing is NEXT WEEKEND. Tracee is the gal in the picture with me and she's going, even though I'm not. I'm soooo excited for her, and a bit disappointed in myself. My "excuse" is that I got really sick last fall and lost 6-8 weeks of training, then couldn't recover. I know I got stressed about catching up and being able to get where I needed to be. For me, time is not an issue...it's finishing without stopping. And I just didn't see that happening.

So now I scrapped about my goal of running the Mayor's Marathon (half for me) the weekend of the Summer Solstice. That's five months away...I can do it if I knuckle down and train. And now that I shared this with you, I'll be REALLY disappointed in myself if I don't do it. I thrive on challenges, so I know I can do it if I try!

This layout uses Bazzill cardstock, running shapes from the Sports Mania Cricut cartridge, and patterned paper from CTMH. I scanned my bib, printed it, and put the safety pins in it since it was too big for the layout. I also added the digital timing chip I wore from the race. The journaling block is from Cathy Zeilski and the layout sketch is also from her...and the Design Your Life class I'm taking from Big Picture Scrapbooking.
