In less than 24 hours, I'll be very tired...

Well, this is it. I'm off to Virginia Beach to run the half marathon.

I'm having a slight toe issue, so I hope that doesn't turn into a problem.

Taking the advice of "Marathoning for Mortals", I am packing ALL of my running clothes. Because, as the book says "I'm certain that if I forget one piece of running apparel, one sock, one singlet...then, on race morning, I'll decide I need that exact piece of apparel."

Luckily, I haven't been running very long, so I don't actually have many running clothes.

13.1 miles. It isn't 26.2, but I don't want anyone to make the mistake of thinking this will be easy for me. It won't. I've run 13 miles before. Hell, I've run 16 miles before- remember the sobbing? It wasn't the initial goal, but it's still damn hard. And I'm ridiculously excited.

Anyway, this is me signing off...Think of me from 7:00 AM to 9:30/10:00 AM on Sunday morning. Cuz that's when I'll be chugging along the streets of downtown Virginia Beach...
