Firefly 5K in Plano

My first race registration has been made! March 23, 2013 at the Shops at Legacy in Plano. This one takes place on Saturday night so it should be fun and I have to admit that at this time Taylor is 30 weeks pregnant and this race falls in what I consider the "birth window" - the due date is April 1st but I think that baby will come anytime within 2 weeks of the due date. So, I guess we'll see what happens. By the way, if anyone wants to participate in this run - here's the link to the Groupon I used.

The Pledge

This whole thing began with my wandering mind as I was searching, thinking of a memorable experience for my 40th birthday. My thought was to do a marathon - the Cowtown Marathon, which happens to fall on the weekend before my 40th birthday. I went back and forth in my mind and with my wife, who believes that I'm not completely capable of getting my body in shape to tackle 26.2 miles of running.  I am convinced that my body could hold up - my attention span - that's a whole other thing. I might be a little ADD but, who isn't? Anyway, I then thought about a race I could do and came up with a 5K, at that point I thought about the possibility of doing 40 of them during the 40th year of my life. I searched the internet for info on others doing the same thing but haven't found a ton except for thegirlinthepinktutu.wordpress.com, who has also committed to doing 40 5K's in a year but she's trying to meet that goal before turning 40. At any rate, I'm trying to test my resolve and discipline to accomplish this personal goal so let it begin. My 40th birthday is February 26, 2013 so, by February 26, 2014 I will participate in 40 5K's.  I'll use this blog to keep a log of each race and I'll post photos and whatever else I can think of. I hope you'll join me on the journey! Oh yeah, I’m open to company so if you want to join me for any runs I welcome it! Cheers!
