Finals. Ugh.

As I sit here listening to Bob Marley, I am thinking about how much I really don't want to run this half marathon tomorrow. I signed up about a month ago because it was cheap, something like 25 bucks, with a t-shirt. The reason I don't want to run it isn't the few inches of snow that fell over the past few days or the fact that I have to drive an hour and a half to get there. It's because this past week has kicked my ass mentally. I've been hung up with papers and presentations that were all due yesterday, so I obviously had to get them done. I haven't worked out since Tuesday... That isn't like me AT ALL! And I haven't ran outside since the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving. These 13.1 miles are going to drain me mentally and physically, but that will only make me stronger. As much as I don't want to run, I feel like I need to. The 2 hours that it will take me to get through this challenge will relieve me of all the stress I have been building up all week and hopefully give me that outlet for a few hours and reenergize me for the next week which includes 3 tough finals, all of which I need a good grade on!

Side note is that I get to see Alyssa tonight! She is letting me stay the night since she lives probably within walking distance of the starting line!

I suppose I will post when I get back home tomorrow. Hopefully my legs don't fall off! haha
