The pieces of my Belle inspired running
costume for the Princess Half Marathon have started coming in, and I'm
starting to love it. I am still waiting on a few portions of the costume
to come in the mail, I'm really thinking the costume is going to be
great! Tomorrow the race will be exactly one month away, and I'm
starting to get nervous.
Part of the reason I'm nervous is I had
wisdom teeth surgery and that has really slowed me down. I haven't run in a week,
and I haven't gotten in a run over 6 miles in two weeks Well, actually
that is not true. I ran a mile on Sunday night, before my mouth started
to hurt, and I had to quit. Then, my mother came over and caught me
running, and then she got mad at me. She said I could have wiggled loose
my blood clots and aggravated my gums. I think she is paranoid, but she
called me DUMB. Who knows, maybe she is right.
My goal is to get back on track tomorrow
with my weekday half hour runs. I am paranoid that I've lost all my
stamina, and I will never get it back, and I won't complete the race
(probably a stupid worry). I need to at least be running ten miles again
by half marathon time. I think the adrenaline can get me through the
last 3 miles. Plus, I'm not worried about running the whole half
marathon. This is my first half, and I just want to finish (hopefully in
an up-right position).
Finishing the half-marathon is my number
one goal right now, and I'm so overwhelmed with the want to achieve
this goal that I am totally freaking myself out. But I'm always freaking
myself out over one thing or another. But the other part of this
nervous equation of knowing that I only have a month until I have to run
a half-marathon is the pure excitement of knowing I only have one MONTH
until I'm in Disney world!!
One month till Disney people, this is going to be epic.

Hi! Did you guys find out what corral you are in? I am in M and Karen is in K. We were a little disappointed that we were separated (I didn't put in a time because we were worried about this and Karen did not have a time), but she is going to get in the first good character picture line and I am going to catch up with her there since we start 5 minutes apart. Are you doing Pasta in the Park? We decided to treat ourselves on Friday night and do that so we could enjoy the special fireworks seats.
