It's official. I have made a mistake. I know, hard to believe, but it is true. Well, maybe not, I guess. What am I talking about? I am officially registered for the Mount Lemmon half marathon! I had the option to register for the full marathon, but decided to roll with the half, due to my goal race (Ironman Arizona) being about a month after this ridiculous race. Why was it a mistake? It actually shouldn't be. It is going to be a tough race, but I'm planning on doing it with pretty much no goal in mind.
Last night, I made my way down to one of the local Roadrunner Sports shoe stores and signed my life away. The waiver had a lot of mumbo-jumbo on it about seizure, coma, death, blah blah blah. I just signed it grabbed my free Muscle Milk shake and high-tailed it out of there before I could change my mind! Alright, so there was no such waiver. It was merely just a typical sign-up, same as any other race would be. But there most certainly was free Muscle Milk!

I'm actually still pretty excited for this race. The timing may not be perfect, since I'll have to hold back quite a bit to make sure that I don't ruin my Ironman race, but it's still going to be a lot of fun. It will be the first half marathon that I'm participating in that isn't a "mainstream" race (Rock 'n' Roll, Disney, etc.). I'm secretly hoping that the spectators will be somewhat like what is depicted in this video:
So if you happen to be near Mount Lemmon in late October, get all dressed up like a crazy person and come cheer us on!
As for 311 month, it's almost over, sadly. I leave you with one last video:
