I have been up since 4 am. Just can't sleep. I am a combination of excited and nervous.
Excited because I am about to complete my goal. I fly out to Orlando after work today. I have been working towards this since September. It will feel soooo good to complete something. To take this feeling of accomplishment with me and use it to push me towards another goal. (No idea what it will be!)
Nervous because I don't think I am 100%. This week was supposed to be a low key week with regards to working out. Just three sessions Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Well I only did Tuesday's workout. As I had been increasing my mileage, I was getting increasing pain in one of my knees. (I fell a few years ago and tore my ACL...never had surgery, only pt) So I decided just to rest this week and let it try to heal enough for me to be able to complete the 1/2. Now, my hip is starting to hurt. I think I may be overcompensating for my knee. And it makes me nervous.
So nervous in fact that around 4:30 am, you could have found me in front of my house in running shoes and pjs running up and down the side walk to test out my hip. (I have never claimed mental stability.)
It seems ok when I run, but still hurts when I turn and pivot and stuff. You know, normal everyday activities. :( So send good vibes my way. I will be finishing this race. I just hope I don't do any additional damage along the way.
I will try to send updates along the way...and I will face the reality of what has been going on with the scale when I get back.
Have a wonderful Friday everyone! Go out and move!
And if you happen to be at Di$ney this weekend, I will be the girl wearing this shirt!
