In less than 24 hours…

…I’ll be running (hopefully) my first half-marathon!  woo-hoo!!!  I’m still excited.  I’m super excited to go to the expo later this morning!  Although I realized that when my friend and I set the time to meet today, it’s right at lunch-time!  Oops.  Oh well – I’ll take some snacks with me.

It’s a little hard to believe that this weekend is here.  I remember 3.5 months ago talking to a friend before spin class about possibly doing the Disney Princess half-marathon.  That wound up not being the race for me, but I picked another one and stuck to my training.  And here I am.

When I think about it, I do get nervous and wonder if I have done enough training.  I wasn’t super diligent on my training plan – at least for the non-running workouts.  I was very good and got in all my runs…but not enough of the cross-trainings or weight trainings.  That’s ok for this race.

I do have some goals for this race – first and foremost, finishing it with a smile on my face!  I have to remember not to worry about hitting my watch when I cross the finish line – I want the finish line picture to be me looking up and smiling, not looking at my watch and hitting it!  (I ran a 4 mile race last June, and when looking at all the pics, SO many people had their faces down and their hand on their watch to stop the time!)

I still have to figure out where Greg will be and when…I think it’ll just be easiest for him to be at the finish line, since I don’t know how easy it will be to go from one place on the course to another to another…I’ll have to get some insight into that while at the expo.

Today is about all the prep for the early rise tomorrow!    It’s been raining since Thursday – it’s supposed to stop late tonight – so hopefully no rain in the morning!    It might be cooler, though    So I need to figure out what I’m wearing…that will be the hard part!

Back tomorrow (hopefully) with a race report!
