My Magical Journey to Running the Half Marathon TR Link! p.107

[carissanboys]

I'm sorry you've been having so much pain. I'm sure the adrenaline will help you get through. I hope I'm lucky enough to meet you this weekend!

Amanda

Thanks Amanda. I'm not in pain just walking around, etc. now that I've recouped from the 10 miles. But, certain movements (like when my nephew was moving me around the other night) still bother me and of course, any time I start running.

I hope we get to meet too!

I hope the tips he gave you helps this week so you can get through the race without too much pain. You have done so well in your training. I cant believe your weekend is almost here. Uh oh it means mine is getting even closer too.

Thanks Lindsay! Your race will be here before you know it.

I am so glad you've gotten such good input and advice and hope the inserts can give you some relief. I can't wait to follow along on FB! Cheering you on from here, or actually from Germany lol but I'll be thinking of you! And checking FB

Thanks Cynthia! I didn't know you were going to Germany. Very cool! Have a great time!

good luck for the big race
I do believe a wee half un of guiness may be required afterwards-purely medicinal of course

I think you may be right!

Wishing you all the best as you prepare for this big event. If it's a run/walk or a walk/run, either one is great. You've put a lot of time, effort, and commitment into this, and we will all be so proud of you when you cross the finish line , even if we aren't there in person.

Thanks MeMom! It means a lot knowing so many people are rooting for me.

I'm off to the doctors this morning for a follow up on my blood pressure. For some reason, my blood pressure sky rockets when I'm at the doctors (or even thinking about going since I just took it and it's higher than it's been for the past 3 months since I've been monitoring it). Guess I just have white coat syndrome. After I'm heading to the running store.

I wish I would of seen this before you left. Have they used a larger blood pressure cuff? I had this problem, till they found out I have larger upper arms. My blood pressure was crazy and when they finally found out I needed larger cuffs, my blood pressure is fine.

Good luck. I don't want to be noisy, but can I follow you on Facebook? I'm friends with WDWgirl-Sarah-you can maybe find my link on hers.

I don't think that's the case. My blood pressure is fine at home, just goes up when I'm anxious about something.

I don't know Sarah, but I'll PM you my name and you can look for (or vice versa).

We are in the process of trying to buy our first home and my brain is so overwhelmed right now! I think maybe it's a good thing because it's keeping me from being nervous about the race. We're going to check out some neighborhoods today and then do some walk throughs tomorrow. Exciting but stressful all at once.

Carissa-
I'm still trying to catch up from my 2 weeks of the DIS (for the most part). I wanted to wish you good luck this weekend!!!!

I love your house pictures and I will refrain from putting in my vote since I don't know the prices of them!

I ended up getting moved to Corral E once I showed proof time. And there were so many people there! I'll have to go check out your thread to see how you did.
