Paybacks are hell. (Sorry Mom.)
Throughout the whole training for our Triathlon, (I am aware BTW that I capitalize this and it really shouldn't be; however, I think it deserves to be) I was constantly reminded that this was all my idea and all my fault that we were all undertaking this huge task. Well, like I said, paybacks are hell.
I just signed up today for my first half-marathon. Let me correct that using my own grammar rules Half-MARATHON. (Do you get the picture?) It is official. I will be running 13 miles on Oct 25th. 13 miles. Me running that. Moving of the legs in a quick forward motion for 2 hours. 2 HOURS.
My sister and Kendall are both doing Half-Marathons this fall (I am joining Emily for hers on the 25th of this month) and Kendall's is on Thanksgiving Day. My husband seems to think that his turkey and gravy intake may be in jeopardy if I participate in this one. I am secretly (well not so secretly now) relieved that he said no because this one has lots of hills- even though Kendall denies it.
Just think 7 months ago I could barely run a mile. Look at me now. or on Oct 25th. Totally crazy what one can do when one puts one's mind it. (that was an obnoxious sentence)
Anyone want to join me?
spirit fingers,

Success!
