211 ... Because I can't bring myself to log it in MFP or Runkeeper I figured I would lead with it here. Accountability, right?! HA! Either way, it is out there and now the only thing that matters is what I do from this moment forward. That is all on that subject for today.
17 days! in 17 days I will be a half marathoner. Holy shit people. I have many feelings about this. Some good - encouraging, positive, motivational; and some bad - I am so not prepared, what if my body gives out, anything over 72 degrees and I can't function. I have 17 days to work through these feelings in hopes that they don't all come to a head at the start line on May 19th.*
Fun weekend planned ahead that I am hoping will relieve some of my stress and J's. With his dad in and out of the hospital for CHF (and his dad's not so positive attitude - your only 64 dad, come on - you DO NOT get to give up!) and the busy busy weekend's we have been putting in - we really need some no worries, stress free, fun with friends and each other. And come Sunday - we are Kalahari bound! One of our happy places. Bathing suits, water rides and giant Kalahari Flames!
I also finally made a hair appointment Saturday AM. The last time I had a cut/style was probably over a year ago. Feels good to be able to go and get alittle pampered every once in a while.
I am alive and just trying to get through it all at this point... summer is coming and I want to make the best of it.
What is the first thing you do when you start to feel overwhelmed/frustrated/stressed out/pressured/etc?
--I normally eat my feelings, but now that I have recognized that, I try to re-direct - eat healthier and get out and get some fresh air/get out and move.
*which in all reality, they will - I am very aware of this and am comfortable enough with my sensitivity to cry in public. Just try not to stare...

you are going to feel so amazing when you cross that finish line!! It's such an amazing accomplishment! Not many people can even run a mile let alone 13.1!!!
You will finish, don't worry about that! just focus on finishing. next time, you can try to get a better time. Best of luck, I can't wait to read about your experience!
Thank you for the nice encouraging words. It helps!!! Can't wait to re-cap and in the meantime, just trying to get in those last couple runs and than concentrate on rest and hydrating for the big day! Ahhhh!!!
