I am trying not to hyperventilate. I have done it. There is no turning back. I just registered for this. Amazing what the first half decent run in 6 weeks (see previous entry!) makes you think you can do :-)
Woohoo! April 27, 2008.
Why this race?
1) I wanted an early/spring race.
2) It is an 3.5 hour drive from home.
3) W agreed to run this one - you didn't think there was any way I would run by myself, did you? Now just to get B & B to run it.........Mwahhahahahahah!
4) 10 bands along the route! I am big on anything that has the potential to distract me from my misery.
5) We will run through a covered bridge! How cool is that? A COVERED BRIDGE!
6) Post race lunch includes Vegetarian Vegetable & Mini Perogie Soup and Vegetarian Sausage Sandwiches. Oh, I am so there!
7) It's a big race and we shouldn't be DFL (not that there's anything wrong with that - I HAVE been last before. The sun still comes up the next day.....)
The plan is to do a 16 week training program for it starting the first part of January. And to lose 15 pounds before starting. Ha ha. I can't even read that sentence with laughing out loud at the hopeful absurdity of it.
