Oh god it must be the lack of sleep for two weeks, the 2,000ish miles I've driven. The insanity that is my family.

I sort of think I may sign up for another death march. Lord help me. I still have the remnants of blisters from the last one.

But it is the "Perky Swanie Death March." I swear I can sing and bounce around even more next year if it helps. Come on, you know you want to high-five each and every one of the Scouts lining Anaheim Stadium.

This time instead of merely thinking of stabbing you when you start the "Perky Swanie Death March from Hell" I will force you to eat a case of cliff shots.

Oh but the Mango was so very tasty.

Just think of how much extra energy that should give me. Those are like speed in a fruity albeit nasty gel.

katiesue · 10-10-2008, 09:34 PM

Then I will actually stab you, down by the river, and dispose of the body.

swanie · 10-10-2008, 11:13 PM

You'll have to catch me first.

hmmm...maybe I'll have to get a Garmin before the next race. Just think of how accurate my in-race tracking can be with a GPS.

You know, Christmas is coming...

Garmin Forerunner 305

How sad is it that I'm seriously considering this race so that I can get the extra medal?

And if you get the Garmin, maybe you'll figure out you CAN do a full?!?

If memory serves me, there were something like 800 runners that earned the extra medal this year. We rode the bus back to the hotel with a family that had earned theirs (and 2 of them managed to place in their age category!). Let me tell you, the medals were GORGEOUS! Seriously, the photos don't do them justice.

Mr. Swanie keeps trying to get me to admit that I'll do a full in the next year. We'll see. 2009 seems to be pushing it, but I won't rule out 2010.

I just really liked the length of the half. Not too insane, but more of a challenge than a 10K. But who am I kidding, I'm too competitive NOT to try it some day.

And was that you I saw on a certain running board?
