No Turning Back

Registration opened up last night for the Disney Princess Half Marathon and I debated whether or not to actually sign up. I went back and forth and couldn't decide if I wanted to wait or if I should just do it. It probably doesn't help that I went to the Rheumatologist the day before and he told me to stop running. Obviously running is not the best thing for your body, but I guess its even worse for the lucky people with RA like me. So I had to decide, do I listen to my doctor or do I go with my gut and prove to myself I can do this race?

Well folks....there is no turning back now. I have officially registered for the Disney Princess Half Marathon. What did I get myself into? I guess committing will really force me to get my act together and do this. I think this is something I need to do for myself. I need to prove to myself that I can commit to this and complete it. I am; however, a little worried about not completing under 3 hours and 30 minutes. I would hate to be that girl that gets pulled off cause she is too slow. If I did the math correctly (which is possible, but I am not very good at math) I should finish just under at about 3 hours and 25 minutes based on my 8K time. My biggest concern with that is I did a lot of running in the beginning of that 8K and wasn't following my 3 minutes of running and 1 minute of walking routine. So.....maybe I won't make it. I guess as I get closer in my training I will figure it out.

So, that is that. Training needs to get kicked in to gear....oh wait I leave for Ireland in oh....4 days. Yea, maybe training will get kicked into gear when I get back (I hope!).
