Gonna run that Half Mary

Alright, since I got all of 2 votes to do the half, I am going to do it.  Didn't take much to push to into wanting to run it.  And really, I posted it here because I just wanted someone to agree with me that it would be a good idea.

In order to train, my plan is to run at least 4 miles tomorrow.

As I was getting dressed for my run this morning, I was looking for a pair of shorts.  I have this "area" in our half bath/utility room when I put all my running clothes (complete and total disaster area).  When I grabbed what I thought was a pair of running shorts, I pulled out a running jacket I had forgot about. WIN!  It still had the tag on it.  I bought it at Dicks this past summer on super clearance and forgot all about it.

Of course, I wore it this morning and absolutely loved it.  For some reason, I get really hot around my forearms when I run with a jacket on.  Normally, I just wear a zip-up vest and short-sleeve tech shirt.  This jacket was VERY breathable and was super comfortable.  It will be in heavy rotation when it is cold outside.

Total miles: 36

  1. YAY!!! Now remember, no blaming me and Carpeviam when the chafe, exhaustion, self-doubt and paralysis sets in near Mile 11. (But you DO get to credit us with all the pride and joy you feel when you cross that finish line.)

    I'm glad you're going for it. Looking forward to reading about your training runs and your race report. GOOD LUCK!!!

  2. Don't DO IT, Needle!1! After 13.1 miles you'll end up with boob chafeage and nothing you can buy at any place named "Dicks" will save you!1!

    Perhaps something at the Vagina Boutique, though?

    So, anyroad ... when you go around saying, "I have this dick's jacket" do people say, "Why did Glaven give you a jacket?"

    Hahahahahaha!

    Tell me, because if they do, I'll get LuMu to attack them with her asymmetrical boobs! Death by chafeage!

    Okay, you seem dead set on doing this half so ... GOOD LUCK!
