As you may have read from several of our previous posts, my brother, Rocky, scheduled a mystery challenge for me this past Sunday. I had absolutely no idea what to expect, but knowing my brother, I knew that it would be good.

I am, what some people would call, a night owl. In order to prepare for this event, I decided that I would sleep very little the night before, so that I would be able to get a good nights sleep before this Mystery Challenge. So, the night before I got 4 hours of sleep and I went to bed at 10 PM, the night before my Mystery Challenge, but going to bed and sleeping are two different things. I did not fall asleep that night. So, when my brother arrived at my house at 6 AM, I had not gotten an hour of sleep that night, and only 4 hours the night before.
When he came inside he furnished a gift . . . and it was . . . a T-shirt. But, it wasn’t just any T-Shirt. This T-shirt had a picture of our faces on the front and a picture of us running on the back. Not only that, but safety-pinned to the front of the T-shirt were the numbers 642 and the words The Rose Bowl Half Marathon just above that. My brother had entered us into the Rose Bowl Half Marathon. It caught me completely by surprise and I was extremely excited.
We headed to the Rose Bowl with our brand new, kick-ass T-shirts for my very first Half Marathon . . .
Stay Tuned for Part #2
This is great, and I knew this was coming your way! hehehe
Thanks for keeping the secret Mitch. Hope your race went well. How did you do? Do you notice any differences running in 40 degree weather.
No way! How did you know it was coming my way? Did my brother tell you?
