Tomorrow morning we take off to head to WDW. Tomorrow night I'll sleep in my bed at BLT for the first time. How nice. :) I'm VERY excited.I can't wait to see Amanda and Jeff and Justin and Rae and EVERYONE! I can't wait to see my friends Mark and Elaine (who, it seems, I have to travel to Florida to see, even though they live around the corner! LOL). My uncle Michael, his husband Richard, and of course MICKEY!
I can't wait for this race!
But here's the fun part - just as I was getting OVER being sick - and tooth problems - my allergies hit like a ton of bricks. I haven't been able to breathe out of both sides of my head for days, and I've been running a fever off and on for three days (low grade though).
This is not an excuse to not give it my best! But it is a fact. As is the fact that I've been sick the last 2-3 weeks, and haven't done too much to finalize race prep.
That being said - I'm still going to give it 140% and surprise myself with what I'm capable of.
And take Claritin. LOL
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU ALL!!!
MAIN STREET AWAITS!
I hear you on the sickness thing. I've been on and off low grade sick for the better part of three weeks now. This year has just been weird like that. I woke up yesterday with some kind of congestion as well, but feels like it's leaving now thankfully!
ReplyDeleteIt's all good though, you'll forget all about the ailments when you step across that start line. :-)
You give me 6!!! I will walk back to Epcot with you!
ReplyDeleteWeird how we all have been sick at the same time. Safe travels! SO you have a huge family coming with you too?? Are we going to get to meet any of the family?? I can't wait to see how big Elizabeth is since October!!
BTW...
Anyone that does comment here.. I will be twittering Saturday.. And trying to stream a live feed as well for a Early AM greeting.. I am runnerrae on Twitter.
Anything you would like to have Eric and I to have for you when we do meet up for the walk back?? Something to feed the body??
Give me 6!!! Is that clear! I want 6!! I will give you 6 back!
Pinky swear!!
GOOD LUCK to you in WDW!!! And EVERYONE ELSE!!! You can all do it and I will be here, cheering you on!!! GO TEAM VOICE!!
ReplyDeleteAnd hope you feel better and stock up on that Claritin - good vibes are being sent your way. Hugs to all!
I leave tomorrow night and I'm incredibly nervous!! I just don't want to let down the people who have supported and encouraged me. I am so afraid of not finishing. I put in every training mile until this last month when sickness, family, and life in general got in the way. As I have said before it is not the 13.1 miles that scares me, it is the pace. I'm just hoping that the spectators will pull me through as the spectators for the Komen 3-day did...twice. My husband was supposed to run with me, but pain may keep him from it. It will be hard going it "alone", even though he will be there to cheer me on if he just can't run.
ReplyDeleteI really hope that I will finally get to meet you Jonathan, as you have inspired me to take the step up to the starting line!!
I can't believe it is finally here. WDW here I come!
At least allergies are not contagious so the "girls" will be fine. The main thing is to have a great time......wish I would be there to see how much Elizabeth has grown. Have a great trip
ReplyDeleteThink positively! The combination of endorphins generated by doing the race and the excitement of being at Disney World will very likely push those allergies out of your mind. It is amazing how many symptoms can miraculously disappear once you start putting one foot in front of the other and reach the "zone." :)
ReplyDeleteGet those allergies under control now...You can and will beat the allergies and have one heck of a race as long as you believe you can! Visualize the race, visualize yourself feeling great during the race, visualize yourself speeding along the course, visualize getting that medal placed around your neck...Nothing but positive thoughts now!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see you - not too long now.
Good Luck everyone!!! So wish I could be there to run or cheer you on but maybe someday I will.
ReplyDeleteRae: I just started following you on Twitter and will be looking forward to your tweets on Saturday.
Have a good time Amber!!! You SO inspire Jonathan to push the limits!!! He is lucky to have you there!! Remind him to post on twitter with pictures during your trip.
Everybody just do your best and HAVE FUN!!!
Dana
