What in the wild wild world of sports have I done?

Well it's official: I signed up for the Rock in Roll FULL Marathon. Below is the email I received just minutes ago:

Below is how I read the email and the thought process I had (you will see that in red):

Congratulations - You’re In! Oh crap! Really? I don't want to do this anymore. Someone save me.

Welcome to the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series. You are officially a member of a very auspicious club and about to embark on a life changing journey. Yea, life changing as in I want to change my life right now and not do this! We are honored to be a part of it. Oh I bet you are. I will be the one crying the whole time, asking your nice volunteers to help push me up the hills.

Please visit runrocknroll.com for important event information and travel details that will help your race experience not only ROCK oh something will be rockin' alright, but run smoothly I don't think I have ever finished any amount of mileage of run and thought to myself "well that went smoothly".

Brooks, our official footwear and apparel sponsor, wants to congratulate you on your race registration. You’ve taken a big first step, and Brooks blah blah blah...I know what you are trying to do...but I will not buy your shoes...I already have my own...so there! wants to help ensure that your Rock ‘n’ Roll journey is smooth and injury-free HA! Shoes will not help me be "injury free" I know that for sure.

Head to your local specialty running shop, where an expert can assess your stride and prescribe the perfect Brooks running shoe for your needs. No store near you? Check out the online shoe advisor at brooksrunning.com. And above all, Run Happy® Let me ask you Brooks...are you happy when you run? Or do you want to quit and call for your hunk a hunk burning hubby to come pick you up EVERY mile? Because if you are happy....I slightly hate you!

We look forward to seeing you and sharing an incredible experience Not quite sure this will go under the "incredible experience" category of my life...but who knows. Good luck with your training (and don't forget to breathe and don't complain as much as this Shelby girl does...it really isn't good for your running psyhcee) Hey I heard that!.

Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series Team AKA your worst nightmare!

Well there is no going back now. Since marrying into a Dutch family, I have learned there is no wasting ANY money, not even a penny, so I payed way too much money to do this...I have to do this.

Tomorrow: 6 miles...shouldn't be too shabby...let you know how it goes!
