Registration

Today is not a training day.  I'm resting.  But only because the training calendar says that's what I'm supposed to be doing today.

Nonetheless, I felt this day warranted its own blog post.  Today, September 30, 2011, is the day I bit the bullet and registered for the Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon!  It's scheduled for Sunday, May 20th.

And, immediately after submitting my registration payment, I just about fell out of my chair.  Before today there was a chance I was all talk.  Before today, I had an easy out.  Before today, running a marathon was just something I wanted to do.  Today it became a thing I was going to do.  A thing I planned on.  A thing I spent money on and, therefore, something I should follow through with.  That $70 registration fee just made it that much more likely that I will actually accomplish this goal after all.  And as cool as that fact is, the one thing that continues to come to mind is...

HOLY SHIT...
