Half Crazy or Completely Insane???

I'm still not training...I know I need to be...haven't run since I ran with the fireflies (well, unless you count 2.7 miles with a 7 year old).  But for some reason I have gone a little ridiculous on signing up for races too...I was perfectly content to do VA Beach then knock out my two double weekends and that be it for the 2012 season.  Then while planning travel to MN for my niece's wedding in October I couldn't help but wonder what races might be nearby that would possibly work seeings as I was traveling anyway....the wedding is at 3:00PM on Saturday...that leaves PLENTY of time for a Sunday morning race!!  I'm not much of a drinker anyway so wouldn't be "partying" like that at the reception, moreso just being there to wish them well and share in their happiness...I don't need booze for that.  Hmmm....just happens that Council Bluffs, Iowa is only a four hour drive and there's a 1/2 there Sunday morning.  Next thing I know...I'm registered.  A few hours later I wondered if that was the only/best bet for that weekend and low and behold there's a 1/2 in MN only an hour from the wedding and 15 mins from where I'm staying the morning of the wedding!  I'm not in the wedding party, I have no responsibilities prior to the ceremony...quick math...8:30AM start time, 02:15 run average, quick shower, get ready, hour 15 min drive....SHOOT....PLENTY of time to even be there early!!!  So, yep...I signed up!  And now for the revelation....that means back to back weekends of back to back doubles!  Oh my...as I mulled that over was I in panic?  Nope...my mind was already racing ahead to wonder if that got me another moon status in Half Fanatics....four 1/2s in 9 days???  Maybe??? Quick check and....nope....BUT 20 in 365 days would bring me up a level....hmmmm...quick count...on 10/28 I'll have 19 in 365 days!!!  Shoot...George has been trying to get me to do Philly...it's a short drive, cool medal, I've got a RNR Tour Pass so no additional entry fee....signed up!!!  Wait...recount those races...oh man!  That's 20 in 370 days....I'll have to squeeze in another before 10/28 for the moon status....ahhhh there's one on 9/9 at a small town by my hometown and I've not run that state in the last 365 days so it'll fit the bill!!!  But...that would mean a 1/2 on 9/2, 9/9, 9/16, 9/22, and 9/23....ummm...did I mention I haven't run in quite some time???  Haven't pulled the trigger on 9/9 yet...but I somehow think I will somehow end up doing so...in the meantime....runners/50 staters/Fanatics....you get it!  Everyone else...yep, running's a mental sport, and we're all insane!  ;)  This weekend I'll be logging some miles!
