Some major traffic, and a few tears later, I’m here at the air port waiting and ready to get this show on the road.
Can we just talk about how much of a GIRL that I am. I cry every time Zach or I leave on a trip now. Who am I? 11 days…11 days.
The flights about an hour delayed, but that’s why I’m flying Friday and not Saturday, right?
So, I’m armed with my Udi’s sandwich, thinkThin snack bars, sparkling water, starbursts and chocolate to get me through to Saint Louis. I think I’ll make it.
I want to send some MAJOR love and major thanks to everyone who sent me well wishes today. I hope you all know that it means the world to me, and that you guys will play a BIG part in my crossing that finish line Sunday. You are all such an inspiration and I’m thankful everyday I started this blog. But ESPECIALLY on days like Sunday when I need the boost of moral :).
So — let’s get this show on the road, right?
LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Question of the Night: What’s your favorite motivational quote, song, ANYTHING that gets you through races or tough work outs?
I’m gonna need em! 🙂
Chocolate Covered Race Medals 
Don’t cry! you’re going to have an amazing race and then before you know it you’ll be back with your buddy! Happy thoughts!
Your plane food sounds amazing BTW.
Sometimes during long runs, I’ll think of Dory from Finding Nemo and keep repeating, “Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, ” in her voice of course.
Thanks twin — I feel like such a silly girl for tearing up — but I guess I am a silly girl haha. The plane food was yummy actually. The bread was the winner on this one, walnut cranberry. Umm — yum. I am one big carb right now.
Noooo don’t feel silly, I would tear up too. I was just trying to give you happy thoughts. LOL you’re a tiny 5 ft walking carb.
You are gonna dominate that race. Is allegiant out already!?!?
It is — I will have both to send to you by the end of this weekend my dear!
And thank you! 🙂
Eye of the Tiger – it pumps me up eveytime!!
Everyone loves this one!
Good luck this weekend!
Thanks so much!
The Fighter, by Gym Class Heroes. I have to listen to it before every workout or race.
Interesting I like this choice!
I concentrate on what will happen when I have finished, how I will look back and have survived, and what will happen and then sort of work on going into the picture (it makes no sense when I write it down).
Good luck with the race x
Thanks so much — that’s actually great advice!
😀 I am glad it came across right!
GOOD LUCK!!
Fav. quote – your lapping everyone on the couch!
Thanks lady — and love that one 🙂
Good Luck! Remember when I ran the Shamrock. Never did an official run before that! I had the Rocky song on my Ipod…to motivate me. Maybe a little too old for you, but it got me to the end! Again, good luck and you got this! 🙂
haha I actually like this idea! My Dad’s name is Rocky so it would definitely make me smile 🙂
I always pack my shoes in my carry on, in case they lose my bags – at least I can still run!
Try to come up with a mantra for your run – like “one more step” and repeat it whenever things get tough!
Good luck you’re going to kick ass!
Thanks so much! Love it 🙂
Have you finished Allegiant by Veronica Roth yet? I still have to buy a copy! I’ve heard it’s amazing!
I haven’t finished it yet but I’m a little over half way done…I love it though.
I can’t wait to start it soon! 🙂
