Heaven or hell?
Fairytale or fright fest?
I'm a bit scared about the whole thing. Waking up at 2:45am and getting to the starting line by 4am is causing me the greatest anxiety right now. At least the temps are looking good so I will only be shivering from nerves and not cold temps for ninety minutes in the darkness of the night with thousands of strangers. I like running alone but hate waiting to start all alone, such a weird feeling. Like a bumblebee in a mini jelly jar ~ buzzing around full of energy but nowhere to go and nothing to do with that energy, hitting the walls.
I'm pulling out all the stops, this is it- 5 months of training since the Napa half {here} and 425 miles logged during that time. Blood, sweat and even some tears....here I go.
Just in case things turn to an ugly nightmare of the 'why in the hell am I doing this stupid thing' kind, my team sparkle skirt and DIY Cinderella gear will certainly pull me through, won't it??
You know I'm not a costume kind of girl, but if this is the one and only marathon I'm going to run in my life AND I'll be running through all 4 disney parks at Walt Disney World in Orlando, then why not get into character?! My good friend Elz planted the idea in my head months ago.
My shoes already matched the rest of the getup.
I'll be sure to tell you all about it, considering I survive the whole thing and manage to cross the finish line, hee hee.
All it takes is all you got.--Marc DavisI'm ready to go git-er-done, wish me loads of luck!!

What a wonderful idea to do a Disney Marathon - had no idea they did that.

Lots of love from Sweden!
