Nerves, heat, existential dread, take your pick. I down a bottle of water and make my way to the starting line, my stomach in knots. My first race, and I’m a jittery mess. The air smells like sunscreen and freshly mown grass, and there’s a low hum of chatter as the runners assemble. I take a few deep breaths and shake out my limbs, but despite my best efforts, I can’t stop the slight tremble in my hands. Spotting Jill in the crowd, I wave her over to join me near the starting line. “I was fine until I got to the park. Then it felt like I’d swallowed a swarm of butterflies,” I sigh, putting my hand on my stomach, willing it to calm down. “It’s completely normal to be nervous, Alli. Just try not to puke on your shoes,” Jill says, flashing me an encouraging smile while jogging in place. I chuckle, but inside I’m rolling my eyes. Jill bounces on her toes, her energy effortless, while I’m her polar opposite, a reluctant participant who signed up in a moment of temporary insanity. “Remind me why I let you talk me into this?” Jill throws me a snarky grin, not missing a beat. “You know how you always said, ‘If I’m running, you should too, because something’s chasing me’?” “Um… yeah…” I reply warily. “So?” She chuffs. “Well, just in case something decides to chase you, I want you to be ready.” I stare at her as she laughs at her own joke, then shakes her head. “Seriously, though. You told me you wanted help getting in shape, getting healthy. This is all part of that. Training for a race gave you something to work toward.” “Sure, training helped. But did I really have to run the race too?” I glance nervously at the other runners, many looking far too serious.
