Tonight, a friend and I will begin our training for a Fall marathon. It's been a goal of mine to run a complete marathon (26.2 miles) before my 27th birthday. Well, November 9th of this year, I turn 27. Time to kick it into gear. Our official four-month training plan won't start for another few weeks (the race is Oct. 23 in Fort Worth) but we have decided to do a little pre-training in preparation. 4 nights a week and 2 mornings a week, Lauren and I, will be running and cross trainning. This doesn't sound too entertaining, but keep in mind, this program is going to require lenghty runs in VERY hot weather and along a trail that is full of Austin weirdos....
Tonight is also the first Republican presidental candidate debate in New Hampshire. I certainly don't think this is going to be a blockbuster event by any means, but I do think it will be interesting. I also don't think this debate matters much for the potential Republican nominee but more for the guys that will eventually drop out. Bad performances this early (or continued problems for candidates like Gingrich) could lead to early departures. Confirmed participants are Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Tim Pawlenty, Rick Santorum, Michele Bachmann, Ron Paul and Herman Cain.
Now, because I'm sure everyone has better things to do on a Monday night than watch a debate for a race that is still 246 days away, I'm gonna watch for you. Actually I would watch no matter what, because I'm a dork. But I will go beyond dork tonight and take notes and write up my thoughts on the debate, and the Republican field of candidates as a whole, soon...
Until then... Happy Monday folks!
xoxo Sara Marie
