(I ran a half marathon today.)

Still reeling a bit, but overall, the experience was sort of like this:

IT WILL BE FUN.

(Spoiler: it TOTALLY WAS.)

I don’t talk about running very much on this blog, but I’m leaving town in a few hours to get ready for something awesome, and I wanted to share. Starting tomorrow morning, 11 other people and I will be running the 186-ish miles between Plymouth and Provincetown as part of Ragnar Cape Cod. It should be just over a day of sweaty, smelly, exhausting fun, including a middle-of-the-night run up a 3-mile-long hill.

If you’re on the Cape this weekend and see someone wearing this shirt, please say hi! And maybe toss us a bottle of water.

(If you’re curious about what it’s like to spend 24 straight hours crammed into a van with crazy runners, follow us Friday and Saturday at @capepitstains.)

I started running about six months ago. Lately, this is what makes me most happy:

First Ragnar in eight weeks; first half marathon in ten. Wish me luck!
