Five days and a wake up call

til my first half.  And I am giddy and nervous and excited and worried.  

I did my last long run yesterday and made it 10 miles and I was working in my new running shoes and trying out the "hammer" gu in Apple Flavored booger er  I mean apple flavor.  I had never used GU before

but I really needed a boost around mile 8 so this was suggested.  :)  

I set out about 9:00 am, I love the weather this time of year and started my run.  I can't tell you how much my time has improved since I stopped worrying so much about my heart rate.  I monitor how I feel and just go.  I can just enjoy my run.  I had my ipod on...  my runkeeper tracking even with the nasty lady who tells me how far and how fast I've gone and just enjoyed. 

I did really well until about mile 6 when I got to a point where the wind hit me.  And WOW did it hit me.  Couple that with the fact that the loop I thought would be 10 miles wasn't...  can you hear the wah wah wah waaaaaaaaah sound?  I made it for one more loop but not the 11 I was hoping for.  

SOOOOo...  this week I will do 75% tomorrow, 50% on Wednesday, 25% on Thursday and then walk a wee bit on Saturday.  Which means about 3 miles tomorrow, 2 miles on Wed and 1 on Thursday.  NOOOOO problemo.  :)  

I got my hotel room changed to include Friday night and sharing with mom and dad and Danielle and Todd to join us on Thursday.  yaya!  I'm excited.  

I need to find the right outfit for varying weather now...  I love skirts but don't want my legs to get cold.  I would love to do a skirt with the capri's under but man oh man they are expensive.  

Soooo I shall look this week.  :)
