Time
I was reading Jennifer P (decaf please) today (no time to set up html links) and I completely understand her and other's issues with lack of time and energy. I think this half marathon has scared the living shit out of me. I have no desire to run it. Do you know how long 13.1 miles is? I'm trying to map out a 10 mile route near my home and I can't believe how far I have to run. It is nuts. I think I'm putting to much pressure on myself for this race. I have never liked long distance cardio. Even when I was a kid, the coaches never put me in the long races. I would only race 100yds (swimming). This is a long race. I will be running for 2+ hours and I really have no desire to run for that long. I think 10k is the longest I want to run. I WILL do this race because I committed to it, but it just has me down mentally.
I have only run once this week (5 miles). It is just too cold for me. If I had run a 5k today I would have to buy a bank robbers ski mask. My hands are in severe pain from running without gloves on Wednesday. They are discusting looking. I have never had hands so chapped before in my life.
Another reason I can't wait for this half to be done with is because I can get back to my regulary scheduled life. No more "you have to strengh train today" or "you have to run 5 miles today" or "you can't eat that" I hate "you have to's". There are so "you have to's" in life, but they belong to your family and that always comes first. Running comes second and it's my way of getting away from reality for an hour.
Sorry to sound so damn depressed in this post. I think TOM is coming, it's to damn cold and I want to get this race out of my mind. Shit, I just checked my calendar and TOM will be here on race day. Great. I can't even blame my mood on PMS yet. Actually I think I'm in a bad mood because we HAVE TO" buy a car tomorrow. I was hoping to get another year out of our p/u truck that has 190,000 miles on it. Well, at least I didn't buy new tires for her. Now I can get an economical car! I'm quite sick of putting gas in a p/u that we rarely use for what it was meant for. It seems we just lend it out to neighbors to pick-up their furniture, home depot purchases or trash removal. Though I get to call in all those favors someday.
Have a great weekend. I have a 10 miler scheduled for Sunday. Hope it gets my mood in better shape. It always does.

Have you signed up to do the Cesar 1/2M yet?
You'll do fine in the halfer. Enjoy the 10 miler this weekend, take along some music, it'll help and don't think of the distance too much, just run and enjoy.
Good luck. :)
Try,
Yes I did sign up for the race. I need a long sleeve t-shirt! I knew that once I signed up I had truly committed and would run it. I'm just terrified of the unknown.
Music....Oh I'm ready. I've got my donna summer, emimem (shake that...which is the dirtiest song ever) and some other heart pounding stuff. My music taste is really all over the place.
Hopefully your 10 miler will make you feel better about the whole distance thing.
