Finally Settled on My Half Marathons

I have been trying to decide on Fall Half Marathons.  I had been considering doing two that were two weeks apart. I could not figure out why I could not commit and just register.  Something just kept telling me it is not the right choice.  The Alien was at night and everything I read about it with characters jumping out at you while you run in the dark (hello every female runner's worst nightmare)  and a medal that looks like a big green alien head. It just did not seem fun to me.  This weekend I got an e-mail about the Diva Half Marathon in Peachtree City.  It is September 6th so it will be hot, but it is also 6 weeks from the Silver Comet Half on October 25th.  Also all the bling is pink and it is a girls only race.  I think that will be very empowering.

With the cost of Halfs I only do two a year.  Looks like this year it will be Diva's Half which is a series all over the country so check it out! In October I am still sticking with my plan for Silver Comet.  It is so close to home and pretty flat. Silver Comet will still be my time goal race.  I plan to use Diva as a fun training run. I mean there will be boas and tiaras!  You have to take some time to enjoy the girl power.  As soon as I decided I also went ahead and registered.  The die is cast.  No backing out now.  Nothing like summer distance training in the ATL.  I will definitely be a bad ass when this is done, provided I am not carted away with heat exhaustion! 

Have a great day.  Today I am grateful for a good job and a safe home.
