I should be cleaning my house right now. There’s a photographer coming over from the Atlanta Journal Constitution to take pictures of us for an article about how weird it is that we bought our house on the internet. I actually didn’t think it was that weird until I did the interview and the whole time I was answering her questions it was dawning on me that it’s REALLY weird. Should be an interesting read.
But the reason I’m blogging instead is because my mind keeps going to how ABSOLUTELY FREAKING EXCITED about the Run Disney Star Wars The Dark Side Half coming up in TWO WEEKS.
Things I’m excited about include:
Time with BRF Sara and other crazy RUn Disney friends
I’ve mentioned her a few dozen times I believe? She’s that woman that I meet a couple times a year and we run and we laugh and we do crazy things like run marathons and then don’t shower but go straight to Mexican food and margaritas. She’s the best. And also my Canadian friends, Tim and Darcie, and Kathy from Utah, who is my spirit animal and . . .well, the list goes on. Running friends are THE BOMB
A Long Weekend Off Work
I LOVE my job. Seriously love. But since we moved here I’ve worked a lot of intense hours (I’m in retail and we opened a new gorgeous store and hired a bunch of great people and it’s all happy and positive but I’m ready for a break!). The last time I took significant time off was to move. Which, I didn’t know if you knew, isn’t really a vacation.
WALT DISNEY WORLD
I haven’t been home in over a year and I have to make sure they aren’t screwing things up;). Flower and garden festival, new stuff at AK, new restaurants I’ve never been to. Particularly excited about eating at Chefs De France for the first time and going to the new Disney Springs.
The Inaugural Race!
It occurs to me that the last inaugural race I ran for the Star Wars Half at Disneyland. I have a particular fondness for new race courses and medals that no one else has yet. And as I think I’ve mentioned, this race is at a good time of year for me so it would be awesome if I love it. I’m a little worried about the course – mostly because the last mile or so goes through WWoS which is the least shaded and hottest spot on property. For more on the course, read my friend, Patty’s, great blog post about all of it. And it’s going to be mid-April. And I’m starting in the last corral because we registered too late for proof of time. But hey, it’s all good. Won’t know until we try!
So to everyone running, and most likely doing your last long runs this weekend, finish your training strong! Safe travels! Fingers crossed for cooler than average temps! And, as always, may the force be with you;).
Happy Running!
