only half?

holy.
shit.

i'm doing a half marathon tomorrow.

i've got to put this into perspective because right now i am panicking.

yes, there are people who will finish this in 1 hour

i will finish it in about 3:30 and that is fine because this is something that is entirely about me. a year ago i couldn't have dreamed of doing a half marathon but tomorrow - 6 months to the day before my 35th birthday, i'll walk/run 13.1 miles

i will wake up at 5:30, jump in the shower and be on the road by 6:10. I will get to the city around 7 and park my car and then i will walk to the start and find my corral -- which is all the way in the back...and that's ok. at 7:45 i'll start moving and i'll move for 13.1 miles - 69168 feet. Doesn't sound so bad when you put it in feet...right? RIGHT?

It will take me a while to cross the starting line because I'll be all the way at the back...but once I do...it's all about me. I have my music, I'll have my water, I have my race number...17230

and when I'm done I'll buy the required "finishers" tshirt because tomorrow morning I'll have finished a half marathon....

right?

30 in 90?

this year i've lost 30 pounds - when i tell people how much they insist that it must actually be more than that because it looks like more which i attribute to the exercise i have been logging but i have another 30 that i want to lose -- actually, i probably have 50 that i want to lose but let's see what 30 looks like...30 made me lose 3 pants sizes...if another 30 did that then i'd be where i want to be.

so tomorrow begins the plan...

i'm going to spinning in the morning...

i packed my lunch tonight and it includes a big salad and some grilled chicken that andy thankfully grilled for me tonight

i am committing to drinking my water - water is needed and will make a big difference...

let's see where this plan lands me one week from tomorrow.
