Back on February 4th, I blogged about being accepted into the Brooks ID Program. The UPS truck was just here, and they dropped off my first order of official Brooks ID running gear. Too cool! That's a picture of me at the top of the post sporting my new Brooks gear.
I'm still waiting for the official Brooks ID tank tops to be back in stock, so for now I'll be wearing a solid black Brooks tank top with the race shorts and spiffy race shoes. This outfit makes me look fast huh!?! Okay, just being silly. :)
I was originally planning on running the 1/2 marathon on Sunday, at the A1A Ft. Lauderdale Marathon. But I've been battling this nasty bronchitis/fever for the past week, and today is the first day I haven't had to spend the entire day in bed. I guess I'll go pickup my race packet on Friday at the health expo, like I had originally planned and wait and see how I feel on Saturday.
I still have no energy, get short of breath after just a minute or two of walking, so doing the 1/2 is probably not the best idea. I think I'd have to walk most of it, and that is just too boring for words. But a friend of mine just did a full marathon last week. She started having knee problems at mile 15 and walked the remaining 11 miles - that's what I call dedication!
I sure would like to get the A1A Ft. Lauderdale Marathon shell medal to add to my growing collection. But that might have to wait until next year, unless I'm feeling really energized by the weekend. You never know.
Take care,
