Christine - I cannot sleep at all I lay there thinking about things I need to pack and what time I need to be where and whether my shin will survive, and then about starting new school the day after and then when I do fall asleep I have freaky dreams, some about the race some not, and then I wake up because I have been trying to hydrate and my tiney, tiny bladder cant handle it so I have to get up and its cold and then I am too awake to go back to sleep! If its this bad now I have no idea what it will be like fri & sat, and the more I worry that I need good sleep the more I cant sleep! urgh! maybe I should try to get a nap in when the kid takes one
Diane - My room is filled with running related items that I need to take but I have no idea how to put them in my bag in a good order so my room looks like a running store right now, I think I know what I will run in but then I need backups and I dont know what to wear when I am not running, I am so used to the heat I am not prepared for this! Oh and eating is easier if you try to not think about it while you eat, I try and read or watch tv about something not running then it tends to go down better, not sure what I wil do on race mornings to distract myself!
Anne - I dont have a wish hat.... but I made myself a Wish headband yesterday with a green headband and a sharpie
hopefully people will be able to find each other because I am relying on a WISH penguin hug to keep me warm! The Goofy high might keep me going through the day but I think my new classmates might think I am strange when I scream out loud when I sit down
and then am incapable of getting up again
oh and if my classes are upstairs I am done for
Nos - I was having family problems too, I told them all to come and lured them with sitting by the pool all morning while I ran ..... well I dont think they will be doing that and now they are starting to complain!!! Although one family member thought, for some reason that I would be running till 2PM on Sat and 5PM on Sun (I know I'm slow but come on
) and that she would be stuck in a hotel room all day with a 3 yr old (she doesnt like to go into the park alone) but once I told her I would be around most of the time she got a little more excited, I guess I just can't seem to understand why everyone isn't as excited as I am
I hope you can sort you logistics out and have an awesome family vacation.
Well no exercise for me today, I planned on a swim to stretch out my shin but since it was 35* when I woke up and we only have an outdoor pool I just couldn't bring myself to go
I dont want to put many more mile on my leg than I have to because it is bothering me quite a bit lately (it always gets sore in the cold!) I think I will do 2 miles tomorrow and if it gets over 40* on fri I will brave the pool, if not I dont know what I will do
I am freaking out about the cold, as I said my shin aches when it is cold so I dont think standing in the cold for 2+ hours each morning is gonna feel so good
but I have all my layers and warm clothes and I guess I am just going to have to go for it
Not long now guys
