Let's go for a run

This is a big week for me, guys! This Sunday I'm running my first ever half marathon in Barossa Valley. While you're all sleeping, I'll be trudging my way through 21.1 kilometers, and then I'll probably die.

Like this. Except, you know, without the six pack :( :( :(

Since Barossa Valley is awkwardly situated from Adelaide, we're renting a car and driving up there at 6:30 in the morning. My goal is to sleep in the car. We'll see how that goes.

Not going to lie, I'm a little scared. A half marathon seems like a really long distance to me still, even though I've been working on my long runs and can run 12 miles without gels. But still. I don't want to get sick or hurt myself or wake up too late for this thing- if I do, it's not just a waste of whatever it cost me, but it's a waste of almost 6 months of training. Yeah. 6 months. I go hard when it comes to these bucket list things.

My goal is a sub-2:00:00 half time. That's about a 9:09 mile time. I just realized that right before I typed it, and now my eyes are kind of popping out of my head. That seems really fast for me...maybe too fast? Here's to hoping I can do it! Keep your fingers crossed and hold your thumbs come Sunday :)
