Feeling pretty bummed today L we realized that the huge tent sale we have at work is the same day as the ½ marathon. That’s not going to stop me from doing it…my boss is great about things like this and has given me the go ahead.
One of the reasons I’m so motivated about this is because I am playing over and over in my head how this run will go. There is so much happiness in the way it is playing out in my head. Now it seems like a few things aren’t going to happen the way I hoped. The one thing I know for sure at this point is that TJ and my boys will not be there because of this sale. It made me cry…which only helps me get rid of some excess water weight J
The plan was for me to head to the race early and TJ and the boys would leave the house later and would be waiting for me at the finish line…I imagine their reactions and hugging them all so tight when I get to them. My hearts feeling a bit broken right now but I understand why this has to be. It’s not like they didn’t want to be there. I know TJ is just as disappointed as I am. He was so excited and I know how proud he is of me for doing this. We never told the boys; it brings some comfort knowing they won’t be disappointed. I love, love, love my boys SO much!
The excitement of the run and how I am imagining how it will go is what’s driving me right now. I’m praying that I don’t lose my motivation because my imagination is so creative and this gets the best of me at times. So with that said, I’m not sure how all this effected my workout. I was sort of down but I think I did ok all things considered. Brent told me I did well, he is so honest with me and he shared my times with me to prove that I did well J He’s so encouraging to me. He shared a little bit more about what to expect with my upcoming training. It sounds exciting! I’m really looking forward to seeing how all this will change my overall fitness.
I registered today for the race…I was very excited and I even had trouble typing…I was trying to type fast so I could submit my registration before I changed my mind J So it’s official…I’m in it!
