So I did it. $100 later, I'm officially signed up for the Country Music Half-Marathon on April 25th. I've got a month of training left and am way behind where I normally am, but I'm not one to waste $100 (okay maybe I am). So four weeks from Saturday I'll be running my fourth half-marathon with my dad and 15-year old sister (oh and not to mention the other 23,000 runners). I don't have any time goal at this point, just a goal to finish because it's been 2 1/2 years since my last race. And I think that's a good goal.
Here's the proof. No turning back now. I'm doing it this time. Now I'm off for a quick 3-miler.

ha it is definitely a little ridiculous to think what we spend just on "Registering" for the race. BUT that one will be so much fun!!!
and welcome back!! :)
Congrats! And that's awesome that you'll be running with family - how fun!
Half Marathons are the best way to spend your money! The crowds, the energy, and the medal of course is all worth it! I'm soooooooooooo very excited for you! Train hard!
Wow!!! Good for you! This is definitely something I'd like to do...once I get used to running and start building up my mileage. Let us know how your training goes!
Good for you. There's no better way to get motivated than to buy the ticket :). Good luck with your training and hopefully it goes well for you!
i think its so awesome you and yor dad run together...and awesome briel will be joining! :) you can totally do it! let us know how it goes! :)
Ran about 3 1/2 miles last night and my legs were travel weary. It was a hard run. Hope yours was better. Dad
I remember when I signed up for my half I was like, "I just paid $100 to run 13 miles! Are you kidding me?"
It's so worth it. You are going to have a great time! Good Luck!
price to enter... $100
value in motivation... priceless
YAY!! congrats :)
I know races can be so expensive and they add up quick!
I have to tell you how much I admire you! I say that I only run when someone is chasing me, I really don't think that I could endure any kind of marathon, no matter how long! So I think you are awesome! Good luck with your training! And I want to see pics on race day!
i think marathons are so fun..esp when they are for good causes..yay!
Good for you! I think it's great that you'll be doing this... keep us updated!

Yay! Congrats! It's seriously SUCH a fun race, and I'm definitely disappointed I'm not in shape to run it this year. You are going to have a blast! Have you been at Nashville before? If not, let me know and I'll toss out some recs of things you might want to do while you're here. Where are you staying? Fee free to email me at melanie0513 [at] gmail [dot] com
PS-THis IS the best way to spend $100. I heart nashville so much it's not even funny. I've done the 1/2 marathon twice and will be going next year. I've missed the city and the race too much in the past two years that I can't wait any longer. Good luck and kick some butt!
