CARB-O Loading!

Welp - this is it! 

I am sitting in the Omaha Airport - on my way to Texas for the big Half Marathon!

While sitting here, I am doing what any other elite athlete would be doing:  Carb Loading

While I was carb-loading - I was looking on the www and came across this:

Shit

Yep - I'm screwed.  524 Burpees is nowhere near my wheel-house.  I am getting a headache just thinking about it.

I am pretty excited for the race on Sunday - I feel pretty good about my training this time around.  Last weekend I ran 8 miles and felt great afterward - that never happens.  I have gone up to 11 miles this time around - so 13.2 should be a cinch!  Haha!

Last night I carefully selected my running outfit and this is what I came up with:

Thoughts?

I thought it looked the brightest and absolutely the fastest.  I am hoping to find a cute yellow or green headband at the Race Expo tomorrow to complete the package.  ;)

I am really excited for this race - my bestie from way back is running with me (I will be eating her dust) and we are staying on the San Antonio River Walk overlooking the ALAMO.  The River Walk is such a neat area and there are so many things to do and see there.  Hello Texas heat in November - oh how I've missed you.

If you are thinking about running a 1/2 Marathon or, God forbid, a Full Marathon, I highly suggest starting in the Rock n' Roll series.  They are in several locations around the U.S. and are such a cool race to run in.  They have a very upbeat vibe and bands every couple of miles.  You never feel alone in the race and it is a great experience.

Have a great weekend everyone!  I hope your weekend is filled with good times!

Meanwhile - I'll be over here jogging it out and starting on my burpees!

Cheers!
