Last Post Before the Half

21 Feb

Hi there, friends!

I was planning on popping in last night for What I Ate Wednesday, but it never happened. I was going to do a quick “photo dump,” but then I realized I barely had any photos to dump. Whoops.

Anyway…

This will probably (?) be my last post before the half! I may get around to posting tomorrow, but my empty Vera duffle is telling me that isn’t going to happen.

My sister and I are both so excited! I love Disney World (if you don’t, you have no soul), so a quick visit to the happiest place on earth paired with finally running the half is going to be amazing.

Yesterday, I stopped by the gym for a “quick” 2 mile run. Ever since last Saturday, my right knee has been feeling a little “off.” I can’t quite put my finger on it, but it just doesn’t feel 100%. Needless to say, I didn’t push myself during the 2 miles and stopped to walk a few times when I realized my knee was bothering me. I’m taking a rest day today – and likely tomorrow too – and plan to ice it a few times and hope for the best!

As for yesterday, today, and tomorrow I’m in full-on prep mode. Any teachers can attest to the fact that planning to be out is waaay more work than planning to be in. Getting sub plans and worksheets together is a pain. The fact that I’m a control freak and feel my classroom will crumble to ruins without me doesn’t help. ;-)

I’m just rambling now and I’ve still got a long list of to-dos for this evening, so I better get to it.

Before I sign off, here’s our Fitnessglo giveaway winner:

    OMG. So I was heading to your page to tell you to kick butt at the race when I scrolled down and saw my name. YAY! I needed a little pick me up like this! :)

    Two other things:
    1.) Planning to be out is STRESSFUL. I make second-by-second plans and still feel like I should be there.
    2.) I agree that if you don’t like Disney, you have no soul. haha I sang some Disney songs to my third graders yesterday and they said it was NERDY. What is this world coming to?

    I TOTALLY agree about being out as a teacher. I never play hookie because it’s too much work!

    GOOD LUCK this weekend– you’ll do great! I’m excited to hear about it, maybe you will finally inspire me to register for my first half ;-) Good luck again!

    I know exactly how you feel about planning to be out! It’s the WORST!

    Good luck to you at the half marathon! Maybe I’ll see you there :) I’ll be wearing pink, just like the rest of the people there probably.

      YES! Omg, I was so excited but man was I sleep deprived. I think I’m finally getting back to normal.
