Clearly I'm not very good at this journaling thing, am I? 
So, since last I posted I've run the following:
10/4/12
4 miles - right on schedule
10/6/12
12K race - We had a great run on this one. It was chilly to start out but turned into perfect running weather once we warmed up. We finished under an 11min/mile pace which was better than I was hoping for. I did submit that time to Disney and hope it might move us up just a bit on corral placement. We'll see. Overall the run felt great although I was a bit sore for a day or two after. They had these orange quarter slices on the run at the water stops that were soooooo good. YUM!
10/9/12
4 miles - normal training run
We skipped our second training run because DH was sick and I didn't feel like going without him..
10/13/12
17 miles
My furthest distance to date!! The first 14 felt great, but I definitely hit a wall at 15. I had to do some extra walking between 15 and 16, but was able to do my normal intervals between 16 and 17. It was tough to get through, but my DH was great and we made it. I'm very excited. Best of all, my recovery was really good. I felt good within a fairly short time and my legs have been only a little sore since. I'm feeling good about the half marathon we have in a couple of weeks and feel like I'll be ready come January for the marathon!
In Disney related news, I got our military salute tickets ordered last week. They should be arriving today or tomorrow. That's the last of the planning to finish up for the trip. Airfare, rental car, hotel and now disney tickets all taken care of. I can't wait!!!
