Half Marathon, Here we come

A couple of days ago, Adam and I registered for our first half-marathon.

Even better, we'll be running it on our one year wedding anniversary.

We were actually scheduled to run our first half marathon at the beginning of August, but it was canceled (maybe due to the heat or lack of participants), so that led us to look for another half-marathon. Adam suggested we search for races on our anniversary (he is very romantic). Initially, I was thinking that we would celebrate the day by mainly eating (perhaps Adam could make me breakfast, we could have cheesecake for lunch, and then a romantic dinner that evening). Then he said, "We can do all of those things, plus run a half-marathon" (uh, obviously we're not on the same page here). After giving it some thought, I realized that if I ran the half-marathon, then it would cancel out the calories from the cheesecake. Why didn't he just phrase it like that?

So, on September 4, 2010, we'll be in Nebraska running a half-marathon. I'm getting excited. Granted, I'm not sure if the excitement is for the actual half-marathon or the cheesecake I'm going to consume afterward.
