Hard at work.

I'm dropping the ball on the bloggy front, but for good reason. I spent the entire day today diligently working on school work. I don't think I have been so focused for such a long period of time in, well, ever. I am plugging away get things done little by little so that I can put school thoughts aside next weekend. I cannot wait. I'm a little disappointed I didn't get a good run in today, but school unfortunately takes priority.

I got to talk to one of my sweet Princess running buddies about our plans for next weekend. We were both just in amazement of how fast this time has gone by. Goodness. It seriously flies!

Tomorrow is going to be an early morning for me, hopefully I can get in at least a little running. Clear my mind a little bit, keep my bones loose. 6 days friends!

One Week!

One week from this very day is the culmination of this years goal. One week from today, I will be flying to Florida. One week from this day I will be running through Walt Disney World with two precious friends.

I am so so excited and oh so nervous too. I intend to blog everyday from now until race day and then, my friends, this un-runner turned runner will be retiring, from blogging that is. I've become a runner for life. Running and blogging through this past year has been an amazing experience. It is special to me to be able to look back and see all the days in between the beginning and now. It is precious to remember the funny moments and the hard moments. It is awesome to be able to look back and read about all my little victories along the way.

I intended a whole lot more to go into this post, but honestly, I'm beat. I am diligently working through all of my school work that is due in the next two weeks so that I can spend my weekend flying to Florida, running, and flying back. A year's worth of running prep is looking like nothing compared to the two weeks of school work I'm trying to get ahead on. So I've been staring at a computer screen and writing all day. Therefore, more insightful bloggy happenings will have to come another day. I will dream about them tonight, or maybe as I run tomorrow? How's that?

Here's to getting ready!
