Weekend of Freedom, or Weekend of Laziness?

Probably a little of both. I don't have any obligations this weekend. I was thinking about hitting either the double cross up in TN, or a half marathon here in Anniston, but honestly i just really hate the cold. I have no desire to be out in it. I had thought about doing the half because it's sponsored by my running club, and I know a lot of my buddies will be there. Some of the guys who don't even run that much that I bike with will be there too. I'm wussing out because I don't think I want to be out in below freezing weather.

I will have a schedule of runs that I will follow, though, coming up because they count for points in my running club. Actually, I never blogged about it, but back in December I won 2nd place in my age group in a competition for a series of runs. The Anniston Runner's Club sponsors so many runs throughout the year and you get so many points for placing in them. It's a really competitive thing where people kinda get obsessed about it, because they want the end-of-year t-shirt. Yeah, I got caught up in it, too. So, my age group got so competitive that it came down to that half marathon back in December. I was able to maintain my position, and secure my t-shirt. It's alotta fun to have that competition.

Here's a pic from the annual banquet. Both of the gals in the pic are phenomenal runners. I've got some serious competition!! But I gotta say that everyone I've had any contact with in the club are really friendly. So it's awesome to be able to run with such cool folks.

This is the sweet shirt:

Anyway, I've got a chance to redeem myself for this weekend, and not be known as the wusser-outer. Everyone's going riding at noon out at Choccolocco. *sigh* My name is mud if I don't go...Just when I got myself comfortable on the couch, too!
