Miles Ran: 180.95 Dollars Raised: $1,066.20 (Thank you Kim Bohlin, Aunt Nettie and Uncle Tony!!!! Ladies and gentlemen, WE'VE PASSED $1,000!!!!)
You know what's really frustrating, especially after you've had such an amazing day in fund raising, is when you go for a run and your body wants and can run faster than your lungs let you. I forgot to take my inhaler, yet again, but figured I would just see how it went. And then! I came out of the gate wayyyyy too fast. I looked down at my watch at one point and what felt like a decent pace was actually a 7:00 mile!
Then it felt like I got hit with a ton of bricks, right in the chest. I could NOT catch my breath, no matter how hard I tried. I'm really surprised at how fast I ran today considering I was trying to slow myself down the entire time and get into a breathing rhythm. I finally found it towards the end, but even when I got home I was wheezing for a good 20 minutes.
In other good news, I'm ready for my "second appeal" and have some serious leads on a couple events. AND! This weekend I bought my first piece for my Disney Princess Half Marathon, which, come to think of it, I haven't really talked that much about. The first weekend of
March my family and I are flying down to Disney so that I can participate in a half marathon that runs through the Magic Kingdom, is only women, and the majority of them dress up as Disney princesses. So, after much debate, and logical arguments made by my friends, I have decided to go with..... Belle! So this is my first yellow piece I am starting with, and will build around it to make a functional, yet "beauty"ful costume to run in. I think it will be a great, warm, fun breather to break up my training, and actually happens to fall perfectly in line with the running schedule for that week!
My Dear, you MUST post a checklist on the back of your door that includes "Don't Forget Your Inhaler!" - which is the same thing as saying, I love you, and please take care of your lungs!
