Well, it's raining...

...so I am losing motivation by the minute to get in at least 5 miles this afternoon. Of course, I can't run tomorrow, so if I don't go I will feel unprepared for the half on Saturday. I suppose I should also be motivated by the widget I stole from Lauren, though I couldn't figure out how to get it on the side bar...that's why it's just showing up as a post below. 58 days til the marathon!! I can't believe it's coming so fast...truly it feels like I just started the training plan a couple of weeks ago, and now I look and see I'm actually in week 16! Crazy.

Sister, if that widget doesn't motivate you, nothing I can say will.

Maybe this: Get out there and run or I'll post really long comments on your blog every half hour until I CRASH YOUR BLOG!!1! Then, the only blog known to originate from the State of Louisiana will be HISTORY, which will devastate LA's blog-based economy ...I'm assuming.

Did that work?

I have never installed those countdown widgets on my blog because it would make me nutso to see a countdown and I would be freaking out on a daily basis!

You can do it, those 5 miles will be over before you know it. Think how nice it will feel to get warm adn dry afterwards!

FYI - I can take out TWO blogs as easily as one. I'm that discursively prolix.

But it occurs to me ... why bother? LA doesn't have a blog-based economy. It's all bead-based.

Good luck getting out there! I'm going to have to work on getting motivated to get out there for my run when it is 23°F outside.

See, it could be worse...get out there girl!!

BTW, I so wish we had Target up here, but sadly, we don't...

You're a half marathon machine! Good luck getting out there in the rain. Ick.

They are boxers with really short hair, so I just rub some lotion in my hands then give them a quick rubdown with it, it makes their fur soft and good-smelling. And I thought they would try to lick it but luckily they didn't:)

I'm really excited for the NO half. Part of me is wishing I was running the full, but after Philly taking such a toll, I think it's safer to do the half and have fun afterwards!

Just copy the code under Add gadget/ HTML/Java Script. Leanna helped me figure it out. It took longer than it should, sadly.

good luck today! It's supposed to get colder by the hour so the early you go, the more pleasant. Also, it might be close to freezing at the start of the BR 1/2 on Saturday. Yikes! Definitely wearing some sort of sleeves.

I almost couldn't visit people's blogs who were running marathons the same day as me because their countdown widget stressed me out. :o)

Good luck on Saturday!
