Ready for My Princess Bling!

As you're reading this post, I'm most likely on a flight on my way to Walt Disney World getting ready to run my first half marathon. Actually, my first 5K AND first half marathon. I can't even begin to tell you how nervous I am! I feel fairly prepared, but there are so many unknowns. I've never raced before and all of my training has been on my own. I'm most worried about what it will feel like to run in a crowd of 20,000 people! That, and of course, the dreaded balloon lady. Truth be told, I'm still having nightmares about that trollop!

When my plane lands at my beloved MCO, I'll catch Disney's Magical Express to my hotel and will then head over to the Expo at ESPN's Wide World of Sports. Later that evening, I'm meeting some other runners for dinner before running the 5K Saturday morning. I expect the 5K to be somewhat easy and I'm treating it as a warm up for the half. A good way to gauge what running in a crowd of people will be like. I plan to relax in the parks all day Saturday and hopefully get some rest that night because I have to be in my race corral by 5 am on Sunday morning for a 5:45 am start time! Even though I'm nervous, I'm super excited to do this. I can't wait to run with some fabulous women and most of all, I can't wait to (hopefully) sport this around my neck!

If you're interested in tracking my progress, please follow me on Twitter @TTownTiffany as I will be sending out updates as I progress from Epcot to Magic Kingdom and back to Epcot again! You can also "like" my Facebook page TTownTiffany to keep track of my split times! Thanks for your support!
