I DID IT!
Wow, oh, wow!
I cannot tell you how the emotions were running through me, or even what I felt, if anything. Maybe I was in denial which is why I didn't feel. I don't know.
What I do know is that I SANG a SOLO in front of my ward for the Christmas program this morning. It was short. I had a microphone (never have liked my voice amplified like that) and it was still ok. When it was over, when I was done singing by myself, I got very HOT! It was noticeable to me. I bet I turned the same color as my shirt (red). I was amazed that I had done it. I was totally pleasantly surprised. I can't tell you how I did, because I don't remember hearing myself sing. Funny,that!
Would I do it again?
Yes, yes I would. I don't know if you know this about me, but i love to sing. I had forgotten that for a few years, and now with the voice and piano lessons, I have put in the time to learn to sound good and so yes. Yes, I would do it.
The sad part about this singing thing, is that now both my choirs are done until May and January. I don't have any voice or piano lessons until then either, so there is no purpose, nothing pushing me to sing. I will just have to do it because I love it.

RUNNING
I ran the Nutcracker 5K race yesterday. I know it isn't far 3.1 miles. And I am working on getting faster. My runs are just so SLOW. I guess mom is right, I am not a runner, not for distance anyway. It is depressing to have to work hard for 2 years and not get any faster. I can go forever at a snails pace.
43.08
that was my time for 3.1 miles. Anyone know how fast that is per mile?
Well, my first mile was 15 minutes on the dot. The second mile was 12:30ish. First mile was uphill, and the second mile was downhill. The third mile was flat and uphill. What ever time is left is how long it took to do the third mile. What is that 15+ min/mile. Terrible.
I know my trainer will say I did a good job and way to go.
So now you know you too can do a race. Do the triathlon with me. I may swim and bike better, but for sure you will pass me on the run.
