Here Comes the Texas Half

It's the eve of my first race in 2014 and I'm sitting here, wondering if I'm actually ready. My training really hasn't been what it should have been for a half marathon. I've struggled with both motivation and the weather, but no excuses, I have 13.1 to run tomorrow!

The race is the Texas Half and I ran it back in 2012. They've moved the race from White Rock Lake in Dallas to Irving. The race starts and ends at the Irving Convention Center--read flushing toilets and a heated place to wait before the race begins! Which, if you've seen the weather forecast, is a really good thing. Looks like the freezing rain won't arrive until later in the day, but this is the race morning forecast.
Raining and cold. YUCK.
There was no expo for the race, just bib pick-up at the local sporting goods store. Since Eddie can't come cheer me on, he wanted to go to packet pickup with me.

The race swag is pretty unique--a zippered sweatshirt with the race's logo. I have tons of technical shirts, so this is pretty cool!

This wasn't in the race bag, but I think I'm going to need it...
