It's official: I am registered for my next two races...
1) The Virginia Beach Rock-N-Roll half marathon on Labor Day weekend. Woo-hoo! April and I are running it together and we're going to wear custom/personalized singlets. After I get them made, I'll share pictures with you guys, but they're going to be funny. Or at least, funny to us.
2) The MCM 10k. I decided to not to the MCM since I still remember oh-so-fondly the pain I was in at Nashville. Since Andy is running it, I volunteered to be his cheerleader (it's his first marathon). Slightly remorseful, I was browsing on the MCM page and noticed it wasn't yet sold out. Before I could change my mind and sign up, I noticed that they had a 10K with it this year! Woo-hoo! And it comes with a mock turtleneck AND a medal. Oh, yeah. I signed up for that one. So I'll be his cheerleader in the middle/end of his race.
I'm also planning on doing the Astros Race for the Pennant 5k on Saturday, which I'm looking forward to because not only do the runners get the usual t-shirt, but they also get 2 free tickets to an Astros game!
I'm still hurting, by the way. A lot. Depending on how I feel tomorrow evening, I might be forced to take an evening off from Kenyan Nights, which doesn't make me happy. I'm going to the gym in the AM for a cross-training/non-weight bearing workout, plus weights. I need to strengthen my stabilizers!
Ooh, 4:20am is looming. Time for bed.

You ARE a rock star! And I am sorry you are still in some pain! Take the night off! You deserve it!
Virginia Beach is an awesome race and they give out excellent medals! I've done it the past three years and of course you'll be getting some extra hardware from Elite! That 39.3 medal is HUGE! I can't wait to see the singlet you come up with...I'll keep my eyes peeled for it. I stay in a hotel that's at the 13 mile mark so I watch everybody finish and cheer like a maniac for anybody who finishes after me. I don't know if you'll fall into that category but if you do I'll be clapping!
I forgot that my photo posts with my message -- that's relevant because that's my race photo from last year's Rock'n'Roll Virginia Beach!
You ARE a rockstar!!! I can only hope to be as cool as you some day. Can't wait to see our matching singlets.
~April
