Oh my, I can't believe we are so close! I have adjusted my goal so many times this year and still undecided whether to even attempt to come or not. Had I known last August what was going to transpire, I probably wouldn't have registered.
I had a fantastic job opportunity come up in January - actually working at the same place with the same people, but, adding new duties to my already existing duties with more pay. So, I took it under the impression that I would have some of my existing duties reassigned - wrong! I spent so much time in overtime and being overworked that I ended up with pneumonia the middle of March. It took me several weeks to be able to run even a mile without coughing up a lung. There are so many days that I get home and it is dark so I hit the rec center and close it down. They usually will give the 9pm call that they are closed and I will go another lap. Most of the time I am walking down the stairs to them saying, "Everyone is out but that tall lady finishing up her lap."
I have adjusted my goal and just basically going to do the 5K with my daughter and for the 1/2 Marathon, I am going to start at the beginning of my corral (which will be the last one) and when the balloon person catches up to me, I am going to stick to them like glue for as long as I can. It will be a miracle if I am able to finish. I am okay with not finishing - just going to go and have fun.
I have the BarbaraG Sparkle Skirt to wear for the 1/2. The 5K, totally haven't decided yet. My daughter is going as Elsa. I probably will be there as the tired, old, overworked, stressed out lady....lol!
