I registered for my first (running) race this afternoon. The 7km run/walk as part of the Wellington Round the Bays in February next year.

This will be the first point that I can cross off my “Thirteen new experiences for 2013“. Exciting!

The most I have ever run at one time was 5km, and it wasn’t particularly pretty, so I’m not going to set myself a goal time or berate myself if I end up walking half of it (though I hope not!). Just finishing is my goal.

Besides, I’ll be running with workmates so I don’t want to be dead at the finish line. They’ll remind me of it for weeks afterwards. And again for the race in 2014.

Then again, maybe that’s what I need to boost me into super-Amy-goes-all-out mode. Who knows?
