My Thoughts On: How To Distract One's Self From Things Like Impending Mudruns

Okay, so I'm really anxious about this mudrun. In the last two days...sleeping is becoming weird. I have this crazy, nervous energy and I want to run around and do things, when I should just go to sleep. I've been waking up in the middle of the night. My mind is in a frenzied whirl.

It's time to CALM DOWN. I have 2 days to go STILL, after all. And, as much as I tell myself that it's all in good fun and I'm doing it to do it and just going for finishing around the 2 hour mark....it's still nerve wracking! It's something insane! And, I've never done it before. I've never even run an organized race before! I used to hate running the mile in high school! And, I don't think I'm quite prepared.

Yes, I need some positive thinking...obviously.

I DO know that I can make it 6 miles. (Yes, 6 miles uphill, through obstacles, and mud - that remains to be seen. It will definitely be a test of endurance. But I'm being POSITIVE here.) And, I know that my teammates will be supportive and egg me on. And, I know there's adrenaline the day of the race (I am praying for a nice 2 hour adrenaline rush, like the ones where people pick up cars off pinned children to save their lives - that would work for me). And, I've been thinking that, at least I won't be BORED running. There will be stuff to do! So, there - I'm being positive...kind of :) and trying to keep other thoughts at bay.

But, enough of this nervousness and anxiety that I am exuding. I need to focus on other things, and get my mind OFF the mudrun (where it's been for the last 2 weeks) - that's what this blog is about - so, what should I get my mind on? What about Script Frenzy!?!?!?! I am so behind! I have a little over 1000 words...and it's half way in!!!!! This is what I should panic about! I need to write 19,000 more words this month.

So, I'm going to put my nervous mud run energy to some use and write a script. It'll take my mind off things...that is...unless my characters suddenly embark on some crazy delusional idea of doing a 10k in mud?????? Nah...... Like THAT'S really believable?

So, here's to Script Frenzy...1000 words and counting up, up, and away!!!!

Let the typing begin! Anyone care to join me? We still have 16 days left!
