no turning back


I just officially signed up for both the Tyler Half Marathon (October 17, 2009) and the Austin Marathon (February 14, 2010).

Oh god. I just signed up AND PAID FOR the Tyler Half Marathon and the Austin Marathon.

Oh. God.

To deal with my fears and contain my excitement, I also went ahead and created another blog. I figure y'all don't want to hear about the mundane details of my training, especially since I fully expect to become more and more mundane as the race dates approach. No, I'll report only the most thrilling stories here, for loyal readers of The New Me, because that's how much I care. For details, details and more details, check out Long Distance Vegan.

Oh, and wish me luck. I hear the Austin Marathon is basically one giant hill, so I'll definitely need it.

Oh god.

  1. Hey we just noticed your 12 mile run the other day on DailyMile. We here at the Huxley household have no doubts about your ability to tackle that marathon.

  4. If, as a normal, regular, everyday person, you are running 12 miles on the DailyMile, you are NOT a normal, regular everyday person. You are a run-bot who will rock the socks of the half marathon without any extra required oomph. Now the marathon sounds terrifying for me, but just get run-bot on it. She will fry its motherboard! Sorry for being so nerdy in your comments.
