Ok - so we're down to the final days...in less than one week, I will be attempting a feat no one else in my family has dared to...The Rock N Roll Half Marathon.

So training hasn't been going EXACTLY as planned, but I'm a pretty agile girl, I should do ok. I'm focusing more on stretching today and tomorrow. I'm really more concerned about the boredom. Four hours alone with myself? And 500,000 of my closest walking companions? Beth, from my office, will be there with me, but I don't think that I can talk for four hours. Yes, I know I CAN talk for four hours, I just think that I'd rather focus on my thoughts and personal mantras to get through it. If anyone has any good mantras, please share!

The fun part is that Chris and I get to go to some fancy shindigs before the event. There is dinner at the AZ Biltmore Resort on Friday and a reception at the new Montelucia Resort on Saturday. I know it's not much, but when we can do these kinds of things, I like to try and embrace the opportunity.

Oh...and I get to meet Smash Mouth. I'm a huge fan, I mean, I totally blared their music in high school, but free tickets and being asked to participate at the meet & greet for our agency, yeah, sure ( I totally know it's because no one else wanted to, and because we didn't want to give to opportunity up to another agency, so I'll take one for the team.) I just hope I'm still functioning by then!

So, I'm in the final days of training. I think I'll bring a tape recorder on the course so I can record my hilarious thoughts as they occur, but that might be too much. I hope you can make it to the festivities after the race. I've posted documents on the left if you're interested. Let me know if you're coming so I can try and pass out somewhere near you :)
