I'm looking forward to watching it from my front yard. As far as excuses, there are many:
- Thought I'd be out of town, but will be coming back late tomorrow night
- Old, fat, and now out of shape. Have not run since August. This is my son's last year for playing soccer, and have made all games except 3, so a lot of traveling and I just wrote off exercise for September and October
- Have never run farther than 7 miles. I do want to do a half-marathon at some point, but I'm not ready for it.
- Doctors tell me this will remedy itself when (if?) I lose weight, but I have numbness in my thighs and feet after 2-3 miles of running. I had a nerve conduction test done at St. Vincent's and nerves were fine, so basically, fatness did me in. They said it isn't harmful, but I'm not a fan of running much longer than that.
That's about all the excuses I can concoct for now. Next year hopefully all of those excuses will be gone, though.
