Thanks everyone

:
The long run recovery went well and I took Monday off to rest up (ok, well I did do pilates...according to my teammate, that counts as a rest day...

).
Yesterday I accomplished a few things. I found some really neat Christmas presents which took care of some gifts that were stressing me out a bit. I also bought a shiny new pair of Asics 2130's

They are the coolest, most comfortable shoe ever and I love them so

They are only available in specialty running stores right now and will make their way to the regular establishments in January. I really needed a good second pair because I'll need to take two pair down to WDW, one for each race (in case of rain or if they just get too sweaty). So I can cross that off of my list too
And I did manage to throw a run in, along with 25 minutes of pilates. I ran at the FC on the treadmill. I was supposed to do 6, but I opted for 4 solid miles as this is a recovery week and I ran pretty hard last week. I'm looking forward to getting out there on Thursday and running in the chilly Northeastern US....should make for an interesting long run on Sunday as well...can you guys please hold off the snow until I'm finished running? Thanks!
Other than that it's business as usual in my world. I did receive my numbers for the half and full last Saturday too. It was exciting to get the packet, but kind of disappointing to see that the booklet is essentially the same as last year's....just a lot of instructions and logistics....I really think they need to spice it up a bit...it IS Disney after all...and we DID pay appx $100 per race...give us some stories or something in there too please.
So that's it for my Wednesday update. I'll be doing 30 on the elliptical tonight, running 6 chilly Northeastern miles tomorrow, finding a way to workout on Friday, run walking at least 4 on Saturday and capping it off with another chilly 8 miler on Sunday before returning home on Monday night. I should have time to check in while I'm away
Have a great day!
