Country Music Half Marathon - 2010

This Saturday I am running in my second Country Music 1/2 Marathon in Nashville. When I look at the posts from two years ago, I'm not sue why I am doing this again.

• No Relation to Gump
• My first half marathon experience

Honestly, I am doing this out of peer pressure. Because so many Lamponians are running, I felt a little shame for not participating. Since it is a company benefit (if you complete the race), I signed up.

I had every intention of  improving my time from 2:38 to 2:00. Somewhere between the start of my first training run and the first lap, I was reminded how much I hate running for the sake of running. My training has consisted of a once a week basketball game. Saturday could be interesting.
