Well, the scale is up today - no big surprise! Duh. Nothing that a cheeseburger caused or anything!!! Still worth every bite, and let's be honest - it wasn't the cheeseburger that pushed it over the edge. In fact, I am actually lower today than I was yesterday. Oh well... enough food/weight discussion. Move on. ~*~*~ Tomorrow is the Shamrock 8k - my first race by myself (i.e. no friends there talking me off the cliff before it starts, etc...). Dennis, Lu and I are heading to Virginia Beach tonight and then they will be doing lord-knows-what during my hours of running / walking. And the kicker? No Ipods allowed! WTF! I am not sure I know how to run without my hiphop mix pushing me along! Yikes! I am nervously excited though... I'm # 23-THOUSAND-something... there will be plenty of noise! Yikes! HUGE crowd! I guess it will be a good overall test... time to really think, celebrate that I am actually doing this, let the voices be in my head but make sure that the voice is STRONG-sarah, and leave mean sarah behind in Richmond! I'll report back on how I do!!!

No ipods?? That seems so strange, what is the reasoning for that dumb rule? Good luck, you'll do fantastic!
Congrats on your race tomorrow, I know you are gonna kick some butt! Could you sneak your phone instead? I listen to Pandora on my blackberry when I run now. Just a thought but I bet the ipod nazi's wouldn't allow it!
The no ipod, mp3 player rule is in all of our races down here. They say it is a safety thing, so you can hear others...cars, etc. My boss does about 20 races a year and I just asked her if she ever DOESNT wear them...and she said she always wears them...regardless of what the rules say.
I wouldnt even give that damn hamburger I second thought! It was fuel for your race! And it was just once in 13 months. You and me just like to hang around the same number for a week or more!
Good luck on the race. Too bad they won't let you use the iPOD. Wonder why. I'd take it anyway and wait until I was out of view of the start line and plug in my headphones.
You are my hero. I can't wait to hear all about the race! I'd also have to have the iPod or the blackberry/Pandora thing.
Have a great race!!
OOOh I will be thinking of you. Why can't you use an IPod! How rude!! I am so amazed you're getting in there and doing it. Go you!! Oh and good luck - you will smash that race.
Good Luck!! Looking forward to seeing pictures
Will be thinking about you. Hopefully it's a nice day.
Wow...good luck!! SO impressed!
Good luck in the race! i would try to sneak my ipod in. I couldnt do it without mine.
Good luck! you are amazing! and you are going to rock the race!
GOOD LUCK!
Many races I ran back in the day had the no-headphones rule. I'd show up without them and EVERYONE had their music with them. I think it's an insurance requirement, so if someone gets hurt the race director can say they were breaking the rules. I've never seen anyone reprimanded for having an iPod.
A lot of my friends are marathon runners, and they all use their ipods regardless of the rules. GOOD LUCK!!!
Good luck Sarah. The no ipod rule is to Cover their buts.
Yay another race - you rock, Sarah! Good luck tomorrow, I can't wait to hear all the details on how you kicked ass! <3
Go Sarah! You can do it! I'll be thinking of you.
