Tomorrow I am running a 5K with some of my girls and the future hubby. I've run one 5k before and finished in just over 31 minutes. Well, I've been "practicing" on the treadmill and it is now taking me over 39 minutes to finish 3.1 miles! I'm so disappointed. I've got my fingers crossed that the crowd and outdoors will help me run it in/around 31 minutes. We will see... I'll give you an update when it's over.
After the 5k, we are heading over to Harriet Island to see Red Bull's Flug Tag competition! It will be the first time it has come to MN, and I'm so excited I get to be there! And Sunday... well, Sunday is going to be the scariest day of my life thus far. I am going skydiving! I'll be jumping out of a perfectly good airplane from 13,000 feet above the ground. I got this urge to skydive when I went to watch Bryan and Gary jump in June. I felt so comfortable there, because there were so many people jumping... well, now that it's been over a month since I was there, I DON'T remember that comfort and am scared out of my mind. I jump around 10:30am, so if you're reading this and you remember on Sunday morning, say an extra little prayer for me! I've still got a bit of anxiety so come up with all these crazy things that could happen to me while jumping; none of them are practical fears, but I can't help it! Like what if I come unattached from the instructor and fall to my death? What if the parachute doesn't open at all and we both tumble to the ground? What if.. nevermind. It's a lost cause and I'm jumping whether I'm ready for it or not!
Happy weekend to you all. Have a safe and fun one!
