It's the Final Countdown..

Check out our sweaty selves...taken about a month ago after our first 11 mile run in the hills of the Manassas Ghetto. Ewwww...so sweaty!!

Yes, loyal blog readers...our first half-marathon is only 2 days away!! (cheers and applause!!!) I can't believe we've been training for this thing since June and the day is so close!!

So here's our race wish list:

1. Awesome team name...the best we can think of are either the funner runners or some lame one that Travis liked and I hate. Any ideas?

2. Duff Goldman..wouldn't it be cool to run by the ace of cakes bakery? I'll have to see if it's on our route!

3. Sweetest music ever! We need to pare down our mp3 collection to only the best running songs ever! Any suggestions?

4. How can I run the race with my camera? I'm sure the 5,000 other runners wouldn't mind if we stopped to take goofy pictures every few miles right? If I can't figure it out, they will have photographers who will post pics online...I'll be sure to look my sweaty-cutest at all times...

5. If Duff isn't available, I would totally take Micheal Phelps meeting us at the finish line with hi-fives...we would show him our Usain Bolt 'lightning bolt' pose we're going to do at the end of the race.

6. Finishing in less than 3 hours. We can run 11 miles in 2:20...so add in 2 more miles plus the first half being uphill and hopefully we'll finish before 12:45?

7. Even if we don't finish, at least we got a bag of free crap and the tshirt already! I'll have my free bag of microwave popcorn and an ice pack to keep me company on Saturday night.

So that's it...see famous people, finish in three hours, and get free stuff. Pretty lofty goals. Oh and hope Regan doesn't go crazy watching our kids for ten hours on Saturday. Should be awesome! And I think there are still opennings for the fun run and full marathon if anyone changes their mind and wants to join us at the last minute!
