Big Weekend

This weekend I'm heading to Nashville via Knoxville to "watch" Velvet run in the Country Music Marathon and 1/2 Marathon (she's doing the 1/2). She's been training non-stop (I rarely awaken when her alarm goes off at 5:45am or whatever god-awful time she has it set to). I can't imagine running that far, but I can imagine that I will have fun this weekend. Our first stop is in Knoxville to go country line dancing at the world famous "Cotton Eyed Joe's". I haven't been there, but Jil says it's great so I can't wait. Based on the pictures from the website it looks like a grand ole time to me. And no, I won't be doing any dancing.

From there we head over to Nashville (first time for me) to check in at the hotel an get settled in before the big race. I'm sure Velvet will be nervous as hell (hehe). And with 20,000 participants I hope I can at least find her in the pack.

I wish Velvet, Jil, Marisa, and everyone else we are going with the best of luck...
