To my Facebook friends and Blog Readers:
    I owe you a HUGE apology!
Last night, my self pitying hit an all-time low.  After I blogged...I tried to see how fast and long I could run.  I was thinking about having less than 5 months to get ready for the Komen and I needed a base line.   I needed to know exactly where I am and where I needed to be.  I should have never done it when I was feeling emotional.  Of course, I tanked and then had to express to the world what a complete and utter failure I am.  Sorry.  No really...Pathetic!
I woke up better this morning.  Not completely renewed, but better.  I am thankful for words of encouragement that I received. 
Awww...you guys.. *insert blushing here*
Then comes more frustration...
*****DISCLAIMER...DO NOT TAKE WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SAY PERSONALLY.  If you are thinking about taking this seriously, know that you are NOT the ONLY one.  THERE ARE 10's of you (lol)*****
In an attempt to motivate me and to make me feel better, I received several messages, via Facebook, email, instant message, and in person telling me that I do not have to run the Komen.  Telling me that I can walk the Komen.  I have to admit...it hurt my feelings a bit.  It almost felt like people were coming in droves (ok..10's)and telling me not to strive for it.  Telling me that I will never do it. (No one actually said this).  It kind of pissed me off.  I WILL RUN THE KOMEN.  I WILL NOT WALK THE KOMEN.  and if I don't, it won't be for lack of trying!  Friday...I will walk a 5k.  In my house, on my treadmill. I will continue to do that 5k until I am strong enough and fast enough to run that 5k in June.  Any naysayers? (check with me tomorrow...lol)
No naysaying here...you run the Komen, I ain't gonna stop you-the only one who can do that is you. Screw the rest!
