Its official. I've decided to do a half marathon. My goal is to finish in under 4 hrs so I can get the finisher medal. Other than that, my goal is to not die.
Its in November. Chuys 5K is May 12th - two weeks!!!!!!
EDIT: I failed tonight :(
I didn't wake up in time this morning to do my 5k at the park so I decided to do it this evening. I went there with the goal to do the whole thing, jogging slow, without stopping. Not only did I have to stop, I had to walk about half of it.
Two reasons:
1. I'd been drinking Sobe Lean all day instead of water and I could taste it as my chest was tightening up.
2. I went too early and it was still super hot and the sun was in my face. I guess I'm not ready for heat running yet.
So I overheated. I'm not sad about it, but I'm mad at myself because I knew better. I should have waited to go until 7 instead of 6, but I wanted to get it done so I could get other things done tonight. :(
I came home defeated and ran a bit in my neighborhood, but I'm not giving up. I'm just smarter now and better aware of my immutable limits.

The stampede is awesome. HowieMaui lives near the actual course so I can take you over there to do some hill training. I am so proud of you. You are going to complete the 13.1 miles - you know it!
