The Disneyland Half Marathon is nine days away.

Nine days.

I got my new running shoes, and I'm breaking them in. I got my hotel room for the night before. Last night I got kind of antsy thinking about it, so I packed my utilty belt for the event day. I put Gu in it. Not sure if I'll run with my camera, but I will take my phone.

When I do my laundry this weekend I'll set aside my race day outfit, including my favorite Adidas hat.

I got my waiver printed out and signed.

What else do I need to do? I'm getting nervous.

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."

YAY!!!!!! Next weekend!!!!!!! Woooohooooo! I'm not sure if I'm ready......running has been really difficult for me during my recovery. I just have to pu**** to make it to the cut off at mile 10. From there I can crawl the rest of the way if I have to. LOL

When are you going to the expo??????

I will be at the expo, I have not finalized my schedule...all I know is that I want to take advantage of the pool at my hotel the day before.

Can we all have dinner in the early evening?

Yes, I would love to be your muddy-buddy. (I don't need a bike, do I?)

We are not staying down there Saturday. Instead we are staying Sunday after the race to relax for the night. I would think that an early dinner would be good.....I'll check and let you know.

Yay....I have a Muddy Buddy!!!! We need 1 mountain bike to share between the two of us. I have some friends that might be able to help. We both need helmets though! Yay....we get to go play in the mud together! LOL
