My Year of Disney BEGINS: a little Running, a little Drinking: PTR **1/12-W&D-Day 8**

Ahem, so I'm still alive (not passed out underneath the Cove Bar). ;) Today's the first day in about 6 weeks that I haven't felt sick so I thought I'd pop in and resurrect this thread. I had a cold and flu before my DL trip and somewhere along the way I picked up a strep infection. It's been a trying time to say the least. Even being sick I managed to have a good time at DL. The only downer was that I couldn't finish the Half. My body got to mile 9 and just said enough was enough. I'll go into more detail in my TR. Now I'm a week out from my Princess trip and severely undertrained. I haven't run since SW. I should be ok for the 10K but I don't foresee finishing the Half. But I'll still give it a go. Have a great day, everyone!

Sorry to hear you didn't finish the half! Having Strep is no fun! Glad you are on the mends now. I was wondering where you had been!

Hope Princess goes well!

That's a long time to be sick. :( At least you'll be better by race day. Just getting the race shirt and all the princess stuff that goes with it makes it worth the effort. :) This race has the cutest stuff.

I was very bummed about not finishing and beat myself up for it pretty good, but looking back, I was sick and should probably cut myself a break. I hope Princess goes well for you too. Good luck!

Yeah, I had considered deferring but I'm just going to take it easy and not pressure myself to finish. I definitely want alllll the cute things! I saw a picture of the Dooney and Bourke bag that I pre-ordered sight unseen and it's SO adorable. So glad I chanced it and ordered!
 
Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear that you've been sick! Hopefully the trip to Disney World will help you feel better, and no matter what happens with the races, just make sure to have an awesome time. Princess is a great race weekend, and hopefully you'll love it!

Thank you! :hug: I'm going to try to just relax and if my body wants to run at a decent pace I'll let it. If not I'm not going to push myself. I can't believe I'll be on another plane a week from today!
 
You poor thing, I'm sorry you have been so sick!! Kudos to you for making it so far in the half, and I'm so glad you still enjoyed your trip. Good luck at Princess!! :)

Thanks! :hug: I keep meaning to get over to your thread but I have been a lame-o and keep putting it off. I know you're having struggles of your own and aren't getting to Princess this year. I really hope you can make the Tink 5K. *fingers crossed*

No, no - I am the lame-o. I am the worst at commenting on other people's threads!

I'm planning on deferring PDC and giving the Never Land 5K my best shot! :)
