#######TRYING 34,999 ON FOR SIZE#######
All along I have said that my goal for the Mini was to just finish. Obviously I don't really believe that in my heart b/c I was extremely disappointed when I came in next to last during our TNT walk this evening.
I have never really considered myself a competitive person. Obviously I don't really believe that in my heart b/c I was extremely aggrevated when I came in next to last this evening.
My workout times are spent beating myself up for gaining some weight back and stopping my workouts around Thanksgiving AND trying to reassure myself that it is OK that it takes some time to get back up to speed. Most of the people who were ahead of me have participated in at least one Mini. Some have even participated in all of them since its inception.
Recently I learned from one of my regular runner blogs that I read that there is a Mini that takes place at Disney. Actually there are several different ones thru the year--one is called the MINNIE, how cute is that!
Although it sounds awesome, I don't think it is something that I will be able to participate in--the registration cost isn't bad; however, it is a fund raiser and you are required to raise big bucks. Even with having free accomodations I don't think it will be doable. Instead I am going to count on all of you to provide me with names and dates of events in your area that I can plan mini vacations around.
Now that Jen has taught me how to install hyper links (it took her a couple of times to explain it b/c I am a bit slooooowwww) I am going to start linking you up with some of my favorite blogs. Runner girl inspires me and keeps me cracking up. Enjoy!

Shauna, I'm glad you are back to writing again. I love reading your blog. Don't forget about our Sunburst mini in So Bend. It's usually the first Sat in June. In Plymouth, IN they have the Blueberry Stomp around Labor Day weekend in association with the Blueberry Festival. It is very popular. I'll let you know if I hear of any more in our area.
Love ya, Aunt Jackie
Don't look back. Just look forward. You still have time to train. One of our biggest races around here is the weekend of Memorial Day. It's called the Mercedes Benz Cotton Row Run through downtown Huntsville. They have a 10k, 5k and a one mile fun run for kids. I don't know how that compares to the races you've been in. Good luck. Hopefully spring weather will arrive early this year.

"anonymous said" on Jan.23rd is me.

Thank you so much Shauna! That was very nice of you to say about my blog!
You can do it girl - just know that it is about the JOURNEY - not the time it takes to complete it.
