It's a Go! (45min bike, 20min run)

OK GO! I'm not going to lie and say that making this decision has been easy. I've definitely had moments of doubt. You know, the "what if's". Job. Housing. Money. Time. Is this the right thing to do? Yes!

(There's no way to guarantee that any other possibility would leave me any better off. It's up to me to make this work out for the best, as with every other option.)

Walking outside on the ice-coated snow along the Mystic Valley river tonight, feeling the wind, feeling the last rays of light, I really love to be outdoors. I want to give back to the community. I've been so fortunate to have been raised without any needs unmet. I can't understand what it would be like otherwise. I love to build. I'm excited, I'm anxious. I'm going to go for it.

The "what if's" can't shake me from this resolution, as much as they may try. I can't say that I've put put them all behind me, but learning to separate fears from intuition will be an invaluable lesson. Even now I'm struggling to end the self-fulfilling prophecy of doubt. Debating the issue on account of fear will only hurt the cause. I'm picking a direction and I'm going to run with it, eyes open. Let's see what's down this path. Dodge the obstacles with grace or use them as stairs to a better road.

Let's FUNdraise! Any suggestions?

Training: This'll be the easiest part. But that doesn't mean it'll be easy. I've been biking on stationary bikes several times throughout the week. Put in 45minutes on the bike and 20minutes running at the gym this morning, and feel great. I can't wait until I can hit the roads again!
