I'm doing 31 things
We did the last long run before the race today, 14 miles. We had good times and I didn’t get sick afterwards, so it was quite successful!

Well, it took several days (hard to raise my children, work full time, train for a half marathon AND declutter my house all at once), but the TV stand is cleared off. Judging by the dust, I don’t think parts of it have been dusted in years, let alone cleared out.
The last two spots in the living room are super scary ones—the boys’ toy bins.
I spent some time at the running store this morning and have a vibrant new pair of running shoes! Of course my current pair has been modified for the new model year (who knew shoes had model years?) and is no longer as comfortable, so it was like starting from scratch. Silver-grey and pink have been traded for neon orange and neon blue. Hey, I went for comfort! :)
