It’s time for “the list”
I have planned on doing “The Taniwha” Half Marathon Trail Run in November as my “big goal” for 2016.
Yes I had already finished a half marathon event earlier in the year BUT to complete a half marathon trail event – we’ll that’s just way more bad arse (in my opinion). BUT so far, I just can’t bring myself to click on that little “enter here” link. Why the hesitation you ask? We’ll you probably didn’t ask – but since this is my blog I’m going to use my prerogative and tell you anyway ..
In short, I don’t particularly like doing official events and when it comes to running I even shy away those unofficial get togethers people in running circles like to organise.
“Hey I’m going to run 28kilometres from Huia on Saturday leaving at 7:45am – anyone want to join me?”
Umm I can’t, maybe next time … #tuiadrightthere
So it’s time to bust out the “list”
- The lunch looks nom!
- I don’t have to plan out a course – I just run.
- I don’t have to worry about logistics, turn up and they’ll transport you to the start line (then just run back) and eat the nom lunch!
- I can cross it off the “to do” list
- It’s a pretty bad arse thing to do.
Lunch (Sourced from www.thetaniwha.co.nz)
- It costs $$ (I could just go out and run for free)
- I’ll need accommodation (more $$)
- It’s hours away (by car).
- There will be lots of people
- The trails will be clogged and you can’t go at your own pace
- I’ll feel pressured to “go fast”.
- There will be lots of people
What can clearly be seen from this list is that .. A) I’m cheap B) I dislike driving long distances C)I don’t really like people but I may consider forking out money and enduring both B and C if the food on offer is REALLY good. 😉
Till next time
