off to the races

big occasions and races which have been eagerly anticipated almost to the point of dread are where great deeds can be accomplished.

this one's been staring at me from my bathroom mirror every day for the past 8 months or so.

well i'm off! thank you all for the good lucks and well wishes the past week or so. pending rides in ambulances, i'll be sure to post quick updates on how i do. i know i'll be thinking of you throughout my 39.3 mile journey and the motivating, inspiring, and funny things you have taught and shared with me. i'm going to try hard to come away with more memories of in-race activities than what random child's song got stuck in my head so i have something semi-interesting to say. i'm still trying to tell myself i am not going to race the full, but it's difficult. i'm competitive. i'm sure my legs will help convince my brain on sunday morning. i told jess we could just take it easy and take pics with the characters and stuff. you can't always rush through life, have to slow down and enjoy it - right?

i'm also already dreading not being able to run all next week... i know i need a few days off, and i'm only shooting for 7, but still, not really looking forward to time off.

good luck to all the other disney runners, goofy nuts or not!
