Mini Marathon

I have debated for months years (freshman year of college) about doing a mini and/or full marathon. I have finally decided that I will do a mini. On September 11th in Indy. Why so soon? Because a friend of mine is doing a full in October and wants some race practice. And why not so soon....

• 2 months is enough time to train
• It's about time I commit to a race after debating for 4 years
• I mean, really? What better exercise goals do I have at the moment?

Sidenote: Some fun facts about my spelling...

• I did not learn until my freshman year of college how to actually spell "college". I always put "colledge"
• I did not learn how to spell "exercise" until my junior year of college. I usually put "excercise"
• I did not learn how to spell "license" until last summer. I always put "liscense". I feel as though this one is justifiable because how often do you need to spell license?
• And the big killer was "separate". I didn't learn that until about February of this year. No idea how that evaded me, seeing as I've been in numerous biology and genetics classes since I was 14.

Now you may be asking yourself how I managed to get into college without knowing how to spell it or how it's possible that I've been an athlete since the age of five and never quite got the hang of exercise. Honestly, I have no idea. I think I just got really good at avoiding those words. And there are still a few words that get me, like business and calendar. I hope to master those by the age of 25. 

I hope I did not just drop my intelligence level by 30 points in your eyes. I am capable of spelling some complicated words. Like tintinnabulation. Which means ringing like bells...or something like that...

And for those who still harbor doubts about my elementary school education, I am a grammar bitch. So I gots'd it where it counts.

Anyway....I made a training schedule/calendar and was going to post it on here so as to be held slightly more responsible for this goal. Not that I give a flying goat if I disappoint you (no offense), but ya know, just to be on the safe side. But apparently I am not computer savvy enough to turn an excel document into a webpage....so sorry about that. Let me know if you care and I could send it to you. 

I am feeling slightly cynical and ornery at the moment and have a feeling that is coming out in my writing. Please do not take it personally. I love you guys. But there is an 105 degree heat index going on here in good ol' central Indiana that I certainly do not love in the slightest. 

Since I failed with sharing my schedule, I will instead share a cool song to keep your minds occupied.
