I figure if I focus on 2012 I can distract myself from realizing how very nervous I am for my Surgery in 2 weeks. Really it is only two weeks away......
So I am starting to research and register for my 12 5k races for 2012. Plus I thought, How cool would it be if I have a design on a shirt that states something like "12 in 2012" or something around those lines? I think it would be very motivational for me. I asked a co-worker/friend who is awesome graphic design artist if he could hook me up. I am a little excited to see the design. With that being said if anyone wants to join me and would like a shirt let me know. All I ask is if you either provide the shirt for the design, or the funds for me to get it . Buying one or two I am OK with doing but not sure how many people will actually be with me on this journey.
Now as far as the 5K races, I found my first two:
1 of 12: Resolution 5K Jan 1st at 11am in Fredericksburg VA.
I know, I know what the hell am I thinking planning a 5K the morning after New Years Eve. Well lets not forget I am crazy enough to go through a life changing surgery during the Holidays. So why not a 5K on January 1, 2012?
Mind you I will be walking this one NOT running. Yeah it will be cold, so layer layer layer. I wont be alone already have some awesome friends who have agreed to join me and start the New Year on the right foot..or the left if they prefer.
Resolution 5K
2 of 12 : 2012 Polar Plunge 5K Feb. 4th 8:30 am in Virginia Beach, VA
OK honestly was not thrilled about this one at first but a little sprite of a friend talked me into it. A whole weekend festival and it benefits the Special Olympics. It will be from Feb 3rd-5th. And most importantly...we don't have to do the Plunge if we don't want to. And yes this one is beyond crazy. For those who know me well, this is may be down right hilarious. I HATE BEING COLD. But it is for a good cause.
Not only that, I think doing the 5Ks in one year is a big deal why not do runs that are not only beneficial to good causes but memorable. Might as well have some " I can't believe I actually did that" moments.

I will post more later. As I said if anyone wants a shirt let me know. I will post the design as soon as its finished.
