Back at the beginning of 2012, I wrote a list of goals. Some of them I have achieved; some I haven’t.

One of my goals is to run a 1/2 marathon. Well, folks, the time has come. I am signed up to do the Thunder Road Half Marathon in Charlotte, NC.

So, tomorrow, at 7:45, my husband, sister, & I will be out in the freezing cold weather, about to run our legs off {if they don’t freeze off before then}.

I’m sure you can tell I’m excited about the event?

*crickets*

To be honest, I am always more excited when I’m out with the awesome crowds and actually running. When I’m home in bed and my alarm goes off at 6-something…oh no. The only thing I want to do is turn off the beeping {actually, my alarm sound is a rooster. I like pretending I live on a farm.} and forget about the registration fee I paid.

Jonathan is pushing Anna Grace & Nate in the jogging stroller during the run. You know I will have them bundled up like we’re in the arctic. I’m a mom, after all.

I will most likely take pictures of the event. At least with my phone so I can instagram some moments. {follow me at @BrownSugarToast!}

So, tomorrow, as you wake up…think of me. If you sleep in late enough, I might even be done by the time you get out of your warm and toasty bed.

My Dad {who just completed his 23rd marathon last Saturday} has this quote he loves that goes like this:

 

Yeah. That pretty much sums up why I’m doing this.
