Mercedes Half Marathoning

What was I thinking? I know what I was thinking. I'm hard headed and determined and thought I'll have no problem getting in some miles between October and February. What I didn't count on was getting sick in December (flu like business... nothing as drastic as a hospital stay.) I also didn't count on Alabama having one of the coldest winters in memorable history. Even as I write this there is snow on the ground and ice on the roads.

So in two days I have to some how muster the strength to travel 13.1 miles by foot. The good news is I roped Jason into it to! :) Well part of it. He agreed to fill in for a relay member who had to back out. So Jason is running the second leg of the relay which is a 10k or 6.2 miles.

We are running for little Alex at the Bell Center. They don't give us any information on our sponsor child, but I believe we will get to meet him on Sunday. Please help us raise money by donating to our race fund....

Right now its supposed to be 30 degrees at race time. Lets hope that temp goes up between now and Sunday.
