get ready...get set...

GO!!! ok, maybe it's not go time yet, but soon! In 2 days I leave for So Cal, or Disneyland to be exact! Mom, brother and I are heading down there this week for the Disneyland Half Marathon. This is my first ever while they both are going for their Coast to Coast medals since they completed the Disney Princess Half Marathon in March of this year over in Disney World.

So you might be thinking, but Holly, what about your leg? You know, when you strained a muscle a few months ago? Well, I'll tell you. I made a decision...I'm going to see how I feel when I get there and decide then if I'll compete or not. To tell you the truth, my mind keeps saying "no! you can't!", but my heart and spirit are so wanted to push through and go for it! I know that if I don't at least try I'll always wonder and kick myself. I will just have to make a wise decision that if I feel that I can't continue or something happens then I have to stop. But I have to try....for me personally I need to do this.

I've been trying to take it easy, but as some of you know my company recently moved and I've been way over doing it. I'm feeling a little sore but doing the best I can with rest and keeping my leg up.

I'll keep you posted with everything. I've been pretty hush-hush with my decision as I wasn't sure how many scoldings I was gonna get.

I'm super excited about just the adventure part of it. And if I don't finish then it's not the end of the world. At least I tried and there's always next year. Yes, I will more than likely cry but not starting would feel worse to me.

Thanks to everyone for all your encouragement and prayers and thoughts over these past few months. I really appreciate it! More to come later!

RUN STRONG!!!! (that's what you say to someone that is about to start a race) :-)
