Butterflies

Ok, it is really starting to set in. The self-doubt, the nervousness, and the tiny voice saying, “WTF am I doing?!?” I am really gonna run 2 very big races this weekend, and I am really starting to get nervous. I have been living on East Coast time over the last few days, getting up at 3:00 am, going to be at like 6 or 7 pm. I am going to finally pack tonight… which should have been done this weekend, but was put off because I didn’t want to feel this way any longer than I had to.

Gonna try to get a short run in tonight, then finalize stuff at work tomorrow before the big trip on Thursday. SO much to worry about, but I know it will all be fine. Heck, worst case scenario I walk, right??

Preparation

advlogoToday was all about preparation. I exchanged some running capris I got for Christmas at the Nike Store. I went to my new favorite store, Road Runner Sports for the first time… ADDICTED!!! Can’t wait to go back and get some new running garb after the Goofy. I bought a new waist pack, some gel blocks and a few packs of recovery drink.

I have an 8 miler tomorrow morning, and then the packing will commence. I have a lot to pull together, but I am excited to get it moving. The hardest part of all this: trying to live on Eastern Standard Time on the west coast. Knowing that I have to get up about 2:00 am EST to get to Epcot to run, I have been preparing myself by going to bed earlier and getting up earlier… like 4:00 am. Tomorrow I am set for 3:30 am. Hoping I can get into the workout room that early and get my run in. I love being in there when no one else is, which is rare.

There are lots of things I want to start with the new year, but I know it is in my best interest to wait until after next weekend. My lifting workout will change. I am also going to do another Advocare 24 Day Challenge, as that has helped me drop a significant amount of weight in the past. I have exactly 79 days until I turn 30, and I am going to look better, feel better, and just be better by the time that gets here.

I will let you know how tomorrow goes… Or let myself know anyway, when I read this sometime in the future.
