I Wasn't Going to Do It. But Then I Ended Up Doing It. Begrudgingly, OfCourse.

i'd like a breakdown from shitler of the different ways my 3%'er status can go up.  like does it go up a half percent if i actually do a load of laundry when i say will?  or maybe a whole percent if stop saying that i'll clean my car like i've been saying for the last month?  because maybe i should actually get like a big bump in percentage for following through on major things.

so remember this?

well, i signed up for one.  and i ran almost every single day.  and then my gym closed for a week and i totally used that as an excuse to be an even lazier piece of shit than i normally am and didn't run the entire week leading up to the race and instead just ate everything i looked at and laid on the couch.

so then it was the night before the race and shitler was heading out of town and he wished me good luck and i gave him a look.  and it must be my typical "i'm pretty positive i'm not going to follow through on what i said i'm going to do" look.  
because i was almost positive i was going to bail on it. why?

i didn't feel ready.
i was convinced i was going to come in dead last.i was beyond self-conscious.i had never done one before.
i didn't think i would make it through.i hadn't run on anything besides a treadmill for the last eight weeks.i didn't want to run it with anyone knew i knew because i would rather fail miserably in front of strangers.

and shitler was not happy.
because i was really living up to my 3%'er status.
but i woke up the next morning.
and decided - fuck it.


so i ran it.






and i'll be honest.
the only enjoyment i took from this was when it was fucking over.

but i did it.
so i think i should get 2% for that.  because this was kind of major.
at least for me it was.

and just so we're clear - i feel like i got hit by a mack truck.  shin splints, back ache, sore feet.
but eating an entire pizza the day after certainly helped.
and i might consider doing another one if it means i get an entire pizza to myself afterwards.
