Okay, now I'm committed at the wool and egg level

February 15th

Still not running due to toe injury

Our minister used to tell a joke about levels of commitment. A hen and a sheep were talking about their deep commitment to the farm and how they produced copious amounts of eggs and wool for the farmer. The conversation was overheard by the pig and he questioned their level of commitment. "How dare you question us?" the hen and sheep said, "While we are working you just lie around and eat corn all day. What do you produce for the farm?"

"Bacon."

So, it's time for the rubber to hit the road, so to speak. My foot is still really sore, but I've been able to do my regular workouts, with specific exercises added in to help my running when I'm able to run again. The question is, with only two months to go until the Sun Run, will I be able to actually do this? I go online and fill out the registration form and pay the fee. I'm committed. Then my sister Barb phones to ask if I want to book a pre-race room at the Hyatt in downtown Vancouver. Apparently it's a real mess to get into Vancouver that morning, and if we have a room, we can just pop downstairs and go. Okay, I'm in for the room, too. I'm going to do this.
