I Can Totally Do This

I have me one busy weekend so I took today to veg out. I played a video game, surfed the net, watched a little TV - you know... the usual. And I also went for a walk in preparation for the big "race" on Sunday. It feels funny to keep calling it a race but I guess that's what it is. I however will only be competing against myself.

Anyway, as it turns out I live a few blocks from the halfway point of the Wharf to Wharf race so I am fortunate that part of my training has been to actually walk stretches of road that people from all over the country are flying in to walk/run.

Today I kicked it up a notch: I walked from home all the way to the Santa Cruz Wharf and back. Near as i can figure - that's just about 6 miles roundtrip which means that's just about the length of the race which means I can totally do this or rather - I already have.

The only thing that may weigh me down a bit is jet lag and good old-fashioned fatigue. Ace and I are headed to San Diego for ye olde Comic-Con - just for the day mind you - flying down and flying back! We're there to check out a few panels and roam the dealer floor in search of pop-culture goo-gaws and free schwag bags. It promises to be a whirlwind adventure and I am sure we'll be exhausted come tomorrow night.

Then Sunday I get to get my ass up at an ungodly hour for the second day in a row and go walk six miles. And then go to work. Sweet, huh?

I'm pretty excited about it, actually.
