I bought my 2nd reward CD yesterday. For my first 5lb loss, I bought Staind’s Illusion of Progress. For my 2nd 5lbs, I bought Bon Jovi’s Have a Nice Day. Yeah, it’s a couple years old, but I never bought it when it first came out and I’ve always wanted it. So there. I’m just a couple pounds away from my 3rd CD purchase. I have a list started (somewhere) that I have to cross reference with the endless CD collection that Fishdog has cuz I don’t wanna double up. Anyway, still taking suggestions if you have some.
Here’s my CD tower on my desk. It’s gonna be pretty cool when the CDs start stacking up.
Now onto my conundrum. There is no 10k at the LR Marathon this year. I’m pretty certain there was one last year, because I even looked at the map. So now I can either do the 5K or the half-marathon. I know that CK is doing the half and I think she is a bucket of awesome for going for it, but I have to tell you, the thought terrifies me. 13 miles? I just don’t know. Anyway, I need to register soon, so am I gonna suck it up and go for the big dog, or am I gonna ease my way into it?

Well monkey, it depends. If you plan to run then I say go for the 5K and try to run as much of it as possible. If you want a big number go for the half but realize you will be walking a lot of it. Once I gave up the mental image of me flying over the finish line with my face glued onto a Kenyan racer’s body I felt so much better. I walked 6 miles yesterday. SIX! I’m totally not worried about finishing the half marathon (barring an unforseen problem, of course, *knock on wood*) I just realized I’m going to be REALLY bored for the five or so hours its going to take me to walk it (I’m doing 20 minute miles). So I’m prepping my ipod for unbelieveable amounts of musical awesomeness.
Either way, you rock!
P.S. Love the lighting on your CD crate picture.
Would any of these 10Ks work instead?

Or go for the 5K to break yourself in and look for a half later in the year maybe?
