You look like a runner….

This was the highest compliment I was paid before the 5K yesterday.  We were paying for for parking and the parking attendant said "Now you look like a runner, Are you running today?" I told him that was the plan and he applauded us.  I thought maybe it was just the fact that we didn't have costumes or make up on but I still liked hearing that I looked like a runner.  During our 5K we have set the dates for our big trips next year that tie in w/ running.  We are doing the Tinkerbell half marathon in May 2015 & the Honolulu Marathon in Dec 2015, that is the one w/ no time limits that we could walk if we wanted.  So I got the update today that I can register for the Tinkerbell half on Aug 6th. It  made my tummy do flip flops.  Reminding my self it was almost a year away still & I'm already training for running I can calm down. Then I started thinking even crazier thoughts like well I really want that Coast to Coast Medal that Disney puts out and to do that you need to do a half at Disneyworld & a half at Disneyland.  So then my crazy brain starts thinking well the Wine & Dine Half in Disneyworld in Nov then I could get this beautiful medal.

But that is the beginning of hurricane season and do I really want to run 2 half marathons?  The Marathon in Hawaii won't be so bad because if we need to walk it we can. The bigger deal is I probably don't have the money or the vacation time to go to Disneyland twice next year (Once for the Tinkerbell half & then for a longer family vacation in Sept/Oct) This is already confirmed plans. Then throw in Florida and Hawaii 3-4 months after our Disneyland trip.  There is a Princess half in Disneyworld in Feb that registration opens for soon but I want my first half to be in Disneyland. So maybe the Coast to Coast isn't in my future just because it is to expensive. I'm not even ready for my sprint triathlon in a few months. I just don't know how that is going to happen. If my swimming doesn't improve greatly I am pretty sure I won't be able to compete in it.
