It's the final countdown!!

I hope you are all singing that song in your head like I am......
I'm on my way to Colorado for business and have in flight WiFi. What's a girl to do while locked in a metal tube for 3 hours? Write a blog post of course! As in previous mobile written posts, I apologize for any odd grammar/ spelling mistakes!

The final countdown is on my friends! Hotels are checked in, MagicBands have been received, and tutus for our running costumes have been handmade with love by the world's greatest cousin. Thank you Abby!!!! I am in the final stages of completing my costume. Hint-it includes a tiara  and some spray in hair glitter! Kyle has a shirt he is designing with my sister in law's boyfriend and we both finally have new shoes! Things are coming together so nicely!

On the running front, I am in Physical therapy to deal with some pretty intense pain that has been creeping up on me. The general consensus is I have some strained ligaments somewhere that are causing some uncomfortable swelling and a lot of pain. Not to be deterred I have plan going forward with my PT to make this run possible! I did 4 miles last night pushing myself quite hard (@10:00pm mind you because I lost track of the time) and felt actually pretty good! Although my foot hurt like a lot this morning. I did not bring my running stuff to Colorado with me because I doubt there is going to be much time and our hotel I'd almost 8000 miles above sea level. My hometown is 641 miles above sea level..... You get the point I'm making.

The plan when I get back is to knuckle under and push hard to finish the training program strong. I have no plans to set a land speed record on this race, I just want to finish under the time deadline, in an upright position.
I hope you'll follow along on this journey with me friends. Your words of support and encouragement have gotten me through the Lowe points in this last year and a half. I can't believe it is 4 weeks away!!!! We can do this!!!
