A conversation between siblings last week:
Kevin: I’ve decided to take up running. I can run about 20 minutes now without stopping.
Me: That’s awesome! We’re doing a 4.1 mile race in Athens in April. It’s hosted by the local brewery and it’s at 4 in the afternoon, which means I don’t have to get up early. And you get a brewery tour after. You should do it with us!
Kevin: Sure, sounds fun! Let’s do a 5K in Charlotte between now and then to practice.
Me: OK! There’s one March 21 at Freedom Park, and of course there’s the one this weekend at McAlpine.
Kevin: Let’s do both?
Me: Sure!
After signing up for all 3 races …
Jenny: So, Chuck’s doing a 1/2 marathon in Greer in April if you guys want to run it with him!
Me: Hmm … no. Well, maybe.
Kevin: Hmm. Maybe.
More to come later, but had to tell you why we ended up signing up for an insane amount of races!

See that’s why I have only signed up for 1 so far (March 28th). It’s my first one. I have been training for it since December 28th.
It’s weird how addictive running can be. I never was a runner before.
