One week from today...

I will be on a plane flying to Florida for the Disney Princess Half Marathon.  It seems so crazy to think that in 12 days, I will be running a half marathon...13.1 miles.  Who does these kinds of things?  I never assumed I would.  Never thought I could.  Never thought I had the stamina to do it.  Never thought I had the guts to put myself out there. 

And yet, T-12 days.  I'll be getting up at the crack of dawn...actually earlier as every runner has to be in their corral at 5:00 a.m., which means I'll be up at like 3:00 a.m. or some such.  Which is not going to be easy.  I'm not a morning person.  And then at approximately 6:25 a.m., I will head off with the other runners (who are slow like me) and start the Disney Princess Half Marathon.  It's kinda insane.

In preparation for this momentous occasion, I tried finding a royal blue running shirt to wear.  Temps are going to be much warmer there than they have been around here while training, so I need a short sleeve shirt.  I went to 10 stores yesterday seeking one out.  Nothing.  That's not completely true.  There was one royal blue shirt at Dick's Sporting Goods for $32.99.  And then there was nothing.  It just seemed a lot of money for a short sleeved running shirt.  Debating changing my color scheme for the race because of it.  We shall see.  I still have a week before we leave...
