Madness...

You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it.”  Robin Williams

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. "  -Benjamin Franklin

Here's the deal... I know that I've said no more half marathons.  I said that on Dec 5th 2007 and on Dec 7th 2008.  And I know that perhaps my body just isn't cut out for 13.1 miles.  And when I say that,  I remember that I DID do 13.1 miles.  I didn't do them well, and I didn't do them quickly,  but I DID them.  And I survived.  And I was proud of myself,  and happy with the accomplishment.  And the journey to the goal was a good one (albeit slipped disk, shin splint, broken toe ... it was still good).  

So.... I've registered for the Wenatchee Half Marathon in April of 2009.  Yep... registered,  paid,  committed.  There's a full marathon (um... a sanctioned Boston qualifier JC... I'm just saying),  a half marathon (that'd be me, CC and RC) and a good lookin' 10K (um,  that's only 6.2 miles Ol Batt,  I'm just saying).  They are encouraging walkers too.  And the course looks pretty snazzy.  Flat... on the Apple Loop Trail... and the host hotel is where the Roaster is.  

Anyone else wanna admit their insanity and join ?
