my first half

well, tomorrow is my first half-marathon.

we run at 7 in the morning.  that's early.  that also means we have to be up and out of the house before 6 to get in to downtown austin and find a parking spot.  that is also quite early. 

i don't like working out early.  i don't like doing anything very active in the morning.  i'm not sure how i will feel about running 13.1 miles at 7 in the morning.  but i'm gonna do it.  and i'm excited.

we went to get our race packets today.  oh, and by "we" i mean me, and my firends dan and amber.  they are probably going to beat the crap outta my time.  so will my friend christi, who drove me down, and so will all of the people i kept pointing out at the race expo today and saying "he's gonna beat me, and so is he, and so is he, and so is she, and so is that old guy, and so is that lady pushing the stroller."  most of them will beat me.  but i'm gonna finish.  and i think that's fun.

the expo atmosphere was sorta cool.  i think the actual race atmosphere will be really cool.  i'll write more about that on monday.  for now, all i know is that i know nothing about any of this.  it's my first, and i'm excited.

i'll let you all know what happens.  that is, if i don't trip and break all of my fingers.  it could happen.
