Princess Countdown - 10 days!

Yep. 10 days from now, I will be arriving in Orlando with my darling friends. 11 days from now I will be running the Royal Family 5k. 12 days from now, I will be running in my first half marathon.

I am terrified, excited and hopeful. I want to stay ahead of the sweeper bus. I have to be just fast enough for that. I don't really care too much about my time. I have a rich fantasy where I make a certain time, but you know, if I need to stop and get pictures along the way, so be it.

This week has started out really rough at work - many layoffs, though none on my team, thankfully. Part of me wonders "Is it prudent to be going on vacation in these uncertain times?" Another part of me can't help but think "You have been working non-stop since Thanksgiving, and if you don't get away you will go mad."

So, there you have. Excitafearified.

My Snow White skirt is fast(ish).

I tested my running skirt for the Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon during our regular run last night. I was quicker than usual, despite feeling slow! Go figure!

Hopefully I'll have a good run when I'm wearing the skirt for the real deal. :)

I am officially OBSESSED with Princess Weekend. I think about it constantly. I drive Brian crazy asking him questions about what might be in the goody bags, what the shirts will look like, whether my outfits look ok, whether I should consider different shoes, etc.

Brian, I apologize.

Everyone else, sorry I'm insane.

Hooray for warmer weather!

Last night's run was spectacular. It was finally warm enough that I could wear just a tee shirt and running capris. (Take that, Groundhog!)

There was (a little) sprinting, there was laughing, Heather and I ran further in 30 minutes than we ever have before (I think). I huffed and puffed and it was glorious.
