I'm still here

No, I didn't die, become disabled, or was abducted by aliens. None of the above.

I've just been too darn lazy to blog. I haven't even read other blogs (I know, I know! Bad, right?!). But I'm back, and still running. And I needed to post because, well, I did it. And by "it" I mean I signed up for my first marathon. Officially signed up. Like, I pressed the "Pay Now" button and everything.

And I'm freaking out.

What did I get myself into? I don't know if I can do this. Really, I talked to the husband the other day and I told him I didn't think I was capable of running a full marathon. I'm scared of the marathon. Like hide under the covers scared. He told me I'd be fine, yada yada yada....in one ear, out the other. I'm scared. Really scared. My hands are shaking right now.

I can't back out now. I've paid in full, no refunds available. And $125 ($133.63 with fees yikes!) is no pocket change. And just because I know I won't let that much money go to waste, I'll be there on January 10 at the starting line. Whether or not I cross the finish line is another story.

So, here I come Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Donald. Disney World Marathon or Bust!!!

  1. Hey, I "officially" signed up for my first marathon today too! I've been planning mine for awhile now though, just finally got around to sending them the money. But, I think you've made a good choice with Disney - I've heard they put on an insanely good race (minus the obscenely early bus to the start line).

  2. YOU CAN DO IT!?!?!?!

    Plus, I've seen the Disney Marathon Pics ... May I say it's a B-E-A-utiful course!?!

    Do not let doubt creep in on you when you are distracted! Give that hob-goblin has no space in your head!

  3. You are going to do awesome, and I'm going to be so jealous of your race. I've seen pictures and it looks like SO MUCH FUN!

  4. LOL, my hand still shakes when I register for halves and check obsessively to make sure I picked the half (not the 10k or full). I can't imagine how scary it is to register for a full.

    You are awesome! And after that half time, I guess it was time to push it with a full?
