welp... i've gone and done it again. i signed up for yet another race. *sigh*
i simply cannot seem to help myself. i really really wanted to be a part of this race last year and couldn't do it for conflicting events so this year i'm cramming it in. i would have preferred to do a longer distance but i'm running a 1/2 the weekend before so i opted for the 5K.
what am i blabbering on about you're probably wondering... i signed up for the north face endurance challenge 5K trail run. beautiful course. i cannot tell you how wonderful these trail systems are. if you can swing this race (any distance) i highly encourage you to do so! as a bonus dean karnazes will be there on friday at the north face store at brookfield square as well as on the saturday race day for a meet and greet. i'm super excited and am hoping to get a picture taken with him. hokey i know but i guess i'm a nerd like that.
i've met all kinds of musicians and pro-skateboarders and even some actors... i couldn't care less about it. hell, i've even had the weird pleasure (?) of meeting ron jeremy once (he was perfectly respectable and quite nice) and i didn't blink an eyelash... but put a couple of running icons in front of me and i'm speechless. what a dork.
and now i'm going to leave you with this video that nic over at left-right-repeat so kindly posted in a link in the comments of my last entry. it's so great. only 3 more days until he and i are running at DWD - him with the 50K and me with the half marathon. maybe we'll alternate being the gazelle AND the lion.

Please tell me you used the discount code when you signed up (15% off)...
i didn't even know there was a discount code. :(
Darn it! I had posted it late last week on FB LPTR page. You could always sign up for another of the events on saturday, and use it then :)
