Let’s go… Slaho!

So here I am thinking that I am going to finally just do the half marathon, when I van calls and tells me that the half is full and to get in we’d half to raise $500 or more for some charity. I don’t want to seem cold, but I’m not in a position to start raising money for some unknown or yet to be decided charity, and if I don’t raise it I have to make up the difference. Not interested. So he told me that if I was up for the marathon, then he’d do it. So, on a moment’s notice before I had a chance to think about it too much, the two of us registered for the full Disney Marathon. Yes, 26.2 miles. I’m really excited. I’m also about 3 weeks behind schedule if I want to train for the big one. So I did what any normal person would do. I put on my running shoes and I ran 5.5 miles tonight. Yep, I just finished them. And I felt like I could continue but it was 12:30 am and I decided it would be better to simply start there and move ahead from that starting point. My next step is to do 7 miles on Saturday. My plan is to be up at 6:00 am to run. Let’s see how that goes b/c I’m not exactly a morning person. Then again, I better begin preparing because I need to be up by 3:15 am for the Disney run so I better start getting used to this. Honestly, I’m totally psyched. It’s always been a dream of mine to run a marathon, and now I’m finally on the verge of doing. And the best part is that I know I’ll be ready. Mind over body, baby, and this mind is stronger than ever! So bring it on! P90X prepared physically for anything. And I know that with God at my side this won’t be to difficult to conquer. Let’s do this!
