Am I crazy?

Remember how, after running only 6 miles, I looked like this:


Apparently that isn't enough to deter me from doing it again. Oh, and upping the mileage.

I am going to try to attempt a Half-Marathon. You heard me. I'm crazy.

Date: September 19, 2009
Race: Autumn Color Run, 5k, 10k, Half Marathon, and 1 mile fun run
Location: Buena Vista, CO (aka, middle of nowhere)

I will be tweaking this. For instance, today is the beginning of week uno. I seriously don't think I can run 13 miles this week. I haven't been running for a month. So I'm going to run tomorrow, skip Wednesday, and run Thursday and Saturday. We'll see next week if I'll be able to add that 4th day.
I don't have to register for this race for a little bit, so I may end up doing a 10k again. That's ok. I can recognize my weaknesses. But I think doing two 10k's in one summer still ain't bad.

But yeah, I'm slightly off my rocker. Meh.

Yes. Yes you are crazy.

Please don't die of an asthma attack mid-race.

I think it's awesome that you're doing this. And here I am all proud of my pathetic little 5K...

Meh. HA ha I love that 'noise?' Anyway, I'm impressed!! Since having a bowling ball for abs, I have been envious of those who can run. But once I have this bowling ball in the form of a crying, laughing baby, I will probably lose motivation to run... I will look to your blog for motivation!! :o) GOOD LUCK!!
