Ready to Run

I'm running my first half marathon tomorrow.

Yikes!!

I'm not super nervous because I've accepted that, this race being my first, I've nothing to compare it to.... No time to beat.... No expectations.

Of course I've done some math in my head (my usual race pace x 13.1 miles) but we'll see. I don't want to say what that time is unless I make it... or beat it. :)

My training has gone okay. Holidays make it hard. My brother-in-law's wife, Shanna, was going to run it as well and actually was the driving force behind our 10 mile run on CHRISTMAS DAY!

I know you probably think that sounds crazy but.... really?...... after lunch on Christmas, there's never much going on, right? Besides wrapping paper clean-up and naps.

Anyways, back to buisiness.....wish me luck tomorrow!

Here's a link to the crazy course, if any of you care.

Good luck! I thought of running that race too late to be ready. I predict you finish in 93 minutes.
