I am a pair of sore knees...
What do you call a fish with two knees?
I find it so weird that regardless of how much I like speaking to people and that I like being in the spotlight, I always get really nervous when speaking in front of people, especially in the matter of presentations and talks. It's because it's much more serious than the usual telling a story or being dramatic type situations; other people will be affected(or not affected) by the information I provide. And I start to think about, "How am I presenting this information?" "What will they be thinking?" and so on and so forth...so it just snowballs into this thing that's much bigger than it really was originally. This is definitely something I'll have to get more comfortable with, especially if this is the path I want to head towards. Maybe a few classes and books here and there will help me out. Anyway, the reason I'm talking about this is because I had to present my project plan in my training workshop today...and I got all nervous. I think I was talking a little fast, but I got my point accross clearly enough. I wonder what I can do about these nerves...it's like flying; as much as I've flown, you'd think I'd wouldn't have such a fear of it, yet I still do.
Ode to marathon training
Like I said the other day, I didn't do my 9-mile run on wednesday. So I ran 10 last night, will run 4 today and tomorrow, the big one. My legs are just a little tired from the run. I took some advil last night before I went to bed, so I'm feeling okay now. 18 miles will be the most I've run yet...I'm definitely a little freaked about it. In addition to the 3 plus hours it'll take to complete my 18 miles, I have my cousin's debut to go to later that night, so I definitely definitely DEFINITELY gotta get started early. So I probably won't be doing anything too party-hardy tonight, not like I party-harty in the first place. But yes, I have things to do tomorrow, and I need to do that run as early as possible.
