I just picked up a race packet for the half-marathon I have coming up this Sunday. Am I pumped? Definitely! Am I prepared? Not even close 
Last year I completed a full marathon and spent 3 months training for it. This year, I kind of signed up for the race on a whim. I have some friends who wanted to run so I volunteered to come along. This probably isn’t the best reason to decide to run a 13.1 mile race but why pass up an opportunity to spend two hours in the freezing rain? I have a goal time of 2 hours. Since I haven’t really been in hardcore training mode, that may or may not be realistic. We’ll just have to see.
In other news, here are few of my favorite fitness articles I’ve discovered this week. If you have any you’d like to add or have found anything on FitHacks.com particularly helpful, interesting, or entertaining lately I’d be happy to discuss that too
