Six months.
It has been six months since the start of the new year, and I've done everything and nothing all in one fell swoop. You know that old saying, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions?" Well, whoever coined that phrase is not wrong and knows me all too well. I had big plans for this year and haven't really accomplished most of what I set out to do.
One of my major highlights this year, or my only highlight, was running the Universal Studios Hollywood Minion 5K. It's the biggest race I have participated in and the one I was the most nervous about due to their minimum pacing requirements. I met a really lovely lady in line and she reassured me that pacing wouldn't really be an issue here, since we weren't in the very back of the corrals. I ran that race with my best friend, Jen, and I felt really good about our initial descent upon the parks. It had awesome views of not only the theme park and the movie backlot, but we got to see L.A. in all of its glory first thing in the morning, from the hillside. The race itself went by quickly, as there was so much to see and take in. We didn't stop for any of the character photo ops (other than a quick selfie in front of the Bates Motel, because why not?), because I was so preoccupied about getting swept.
Well, there were so many people at the race that there was no way I was getting swept. So I worried and fretted for nothing.
So for the month of June, I'm going to work on a plan of action for the rest of the year. I have some ideas of what I want to do, but I'm not sure how to make them work logistically. Stay tuned while I figure out this dumpster fire.
