I am going to do IT!

I have made up my mind. I am going to run the half marathon in Las Vegas on Sunday morning. I think I am in shock that I have made this decision. This decision is still based on the assumption there will still be spots in the race field when we arrive at the race expo in Vegas on Saturday.
I am in a little shock that I am going to do it. But, I dread the training for a half marathon the most. The thoughts of trying to find time to get in long runs on the weekends and be home so Chris can get in his long runs is what I dread the most.
I went and bought some cheap gloves and a hat so I can ditch them during the race if I want. The temperature at the start of the race is supposed to be in the low 30′s. Brrrrr. I am a treadmill runner. LOL. No cold weather running clothes in my closet. I have figured out the pants that I am going to wear. Still not sure about the shirt.
My dear friend Molly is going to be a sweetheart and post an update once I get to Vegas so everyone will know if I got in to the race field or if this idea went bust. I will not have any internet connection while we are gone.
I hope to check back in tomorrow but I am doing the crazy thing of packing, getting things ready for the grandparents who are all helping to watch the girls, getting the house ready for a reporter to come WHILE WE ARE GONE to look at our house for an article featuring our house in the newspaper a week from Sunday. UGH. Talk about stress.
So as one of my dear friends said it the best ” So even though everything is against you, you are still going to do it! Good for you!” Yep, I am going to do it.
