26.2?

Thursday was one of my running buddy, Courtney’s birthday.  Travis and I met she and her husband, and Janna, our other running buddy at Burbank Bar & Grille, where I may or may not have agreed to “train for a full marathon,” with the girls.  I did not agree to actually register for one though.  Basically, I think what my plan will be, is whichever June race I end up registering for, I’ll train with the girls for a full, but if I don’t feel totally ready, I’ll drop down to the half, or move up to the full if I think I can make it.

Wine may or may not have been a factor in my decision making process.

What really sealed it though, was as I protested, as I talked about my fear, and my concern about running for like 5 hours, Courtney said “considering you just killed 22 minutes off your last half time, I think you might surprise yourself. You just have to train.”

Have you ever agreed to something crazy when you were drinking? I was two sips of wine in by the way.

Pssssst: Jasmine, over at Eat, Move, Write is doing A WEEK OF GIVEAWAYS!

“The Eat Move Write Week of Giveaways”  Go on, enter!! Do it now! Today’s giveaway is CHOBANI which I have heard is amazingly delicious yogurt.

It’s already 5 days into the New Year, and I am ready for Friday like it is nobody’s business.  The week has been going by simultaneously slowly and quickly, and it’s starting to mess with my head. 

I do have a slightly different motive for wanting it to be Friday already.  I’m only 11 days away from my second half marathon and I am itching to go!  My running buddies and I, as well as several of my cousins are running in the Phoenix Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon. My cousin, Colleen, is actually running the full marathon (just like Tina and Mal!)  Last night I got the confirmation email so I am rearing to go.  The only downside is, all this anticipation is making it hard to stay focused at work. Oops!

What are you looking forward to in the next few weeks?

Ready, Set….

Well, race day is tomorrow!  I am almost packed up, and then Travis and I will drive out to Anaheim, land of Disney.  Courtney (training buddy) and I still have to pick up our bibs and goody bags.  I’m starting to get nervous now, I can’t believe it’s almost here!

I’ve got my HALF MARATHON playlist all synced up to my iPod. I’ll share it with you all when I get back :)   I haven’t decided if I’m bringing my computer along with or not.

Alright, here I go! I’m off to run my very first half marathon tomorrow!!

Eep!
