To Tybee, or Not to Tybee?

Ugh. UGh. UGH.  What should I do????

The Critz Tybee Runfest rolls around in less than two weeks.  February 1st & 2nd, to be exact.  It's two days of racing fun.  There's a 5K on Friday night, and then a 10K, half marathon, and a fun run (or two) on Saturday.  I've got my eye on the half marathon (my favorite distance fer sure!)  But OMG, I was so sore and tired after last Saturday's Charleston half marathon, that I don't know if I'm mentally prepared to handle another one this soon.

BUT BUT BUT... if I don't do this one, I don't know when I'll get to do another one because (as far as I know) there isn't anymore close to home for a while.

So, do I put on my big girl Bondi Band and head out?

Let's take a look at the pros and cons:

Pro: I get another t-shirt and medal to add to my collection.  And we ALL know that's the reason I do this crap.

Con: I'll have run 13.1 miles. Ugh.

Pro: I can ride with my fast friend Vicki.

Con: My fast friend Vicki will dust me, and I will have to trudge through Tybee on my own.  It gets a little lonely out there.

Pro: Last year's Tybee Half was a milestone in my fledgling running life, so it would be great to go back and honor my commitment to this bone-jarring, knee-wrecking hobby.

Con:  I will jar my bones and wreck my knees.

Pro: I can wear my fancy new faux-simulated-houndstooth headband...

Con: I will have to get up at the ASS CRACK of dawn to trek down to the island. Our condo is booked for the weekend... a friggin' injustice if you ask me.

Pro: I'll burn off at least 1300 calories.

Con: ????

Okay seriously, is there a con to burning off 1300 calories?  NOPE!

So what should I do?  Go for it? Get it over with? Love every minute of it?

(I already know the answer.)
