Am I crazy?

Ok, so I was thinking about the next few months and all the holiday activities, delicious food, desserts and candy that will be flowing like the Mississippi after Katrina....and wondered to myself if I was nuts.  I've been trying to eat healthy, lose weight, and do some cardio exercise so I can get off all the prescription meds I'm taking.  This sounds great; however, motivation and time are things I'm lacking during my trip down healthy lane.  My sister-in-law told me what she has to do to keep herself motivated to run is sign up for a race that way she is committed to something that she has to train for.
One evening while I was playing on Facebook I noticed a post from on of my friends with a link to a website for a race here in Houston.  I visited the site and signed up to run a 5K..... on OCTOBER 30th!!!  That's only 13 days away from now!  I've run about 1 3/4 miles without having to stop and walk so I don't think it's going to kill me.  My goal is to finish without having to stop and walk.  I don't care how quickly I finish as long as I finish before the last person. :-)  This race is called The Monster Mash Run and we are supposed to wear a costume while we run.  I am going to wear a lightweight leopard costume with an ear headband so I will be sure to get some pictures.  Wish me luck!
