Sometimes I can be pretty reluctant to commit to things. I think I don't like the pressure of needing to fulfill what I commit to, or live up to an expectation. Part of this is the whole perfectionism thing in me. Yet there's something to be said of when you say you'll do something, you do it well. I need to figure out a balance between the two.

I agreed (admittedly, a bit half-heartedly) to my co-worker that I would run a half marathon. She said she would keep me accountable (and I do well with this pressure). I still dragged my feet on signing myself up for the race, but I eventually did (tonight). I'll be running the US Half! Not, however, at the speed of the alvonator, who is also running. This may be my first long race attempted alone. Unless...anyone want to run with me?
