Princess In Training (my official half marathon training schedule)

So I sat down this morning with a calendar, and a cup of coffee, and the laptop, and a pencil, and some paper, and my schedule, and some more coffee, and my thinking cap, and a kid in my lap.  Yes, it was a lot of hard work for a Saturday morning, but I managed. 

It was time to come up with an official training schedule for the Princess Half Marathon at Disney World (March 7th).  That is just around the corner. Think about how quickly the holiday season flies by.  Thanksgiving, Christmas, ringing in the new year, my 16th wedding anniversary, Super Bowl Sunday, Valentine's Day....they come and go fast.  And then I'm left with a half marathon to run.  Whether I'm trained well or not.  So I damn well better gear up!  The most I can go at this point in time is 6 miles.  Not bad considering I'm still bouncing back from a foot injury, but I have to somehow manage 7.1 more miles in addition to what I am already struggling to run.  All in 16 weeks.  So here's my plan....

If any fellow bloggers OR blog readers are headed to Disney World in early March, I will be there March 4 - 8 (without my kids!!!!).  I'd love to meet you in person (but not if you're a crazy stalker).  I've already touched base with some of you regarding meeting up.  Debby has agreed to come be a cheerleader at the finish line (wear your short skirt, Debby!).  My big plan is to meet up with everyone at Cosmic Rays in Tomorrowland.  We can grab a veggie burger!  Yes, I actually know of all the places there with healthier options.  It's really kind of sad when you think about it.  I figure the healthy foods balance out all of the Mickey head shaped ice creams and chocolate covered frozen bananas (which are semi-healthy if you ask me) that I consume while I'm there.  :)

Oh, an you'll be able to spot me a mile away because I'll be the dork with the homemade Minnie Mouse purse.....
