Today, through the pain of arthritis in my foot, clavicle
pain on my right side and perhaps still full of delicious fried chicken from
North Carolina, I managed to run 4.3 miles to reach a record of 100 miles of
training for my first half marathon. I haven't ran since I did so on the beach
in Myrtle Beach and that was only two miles, but at least I got some kind of
work out during that vacation.

Nelly, my
Team in Training running buddy, and our
cheerleaders, Kim and Sandra, met over a delicious dinner at
InternationalSmoke (link to blog post) in San Francisco and we are basically all set for our
January 2019 adventure.
Southwest flights are booked, a hotel thru
Wyndham and
Sandra's timeshare has been reserved and we are almost all set with actual
Walt Disney World tickets.

Thank you for reading my posts on this journey to reaching
13.1 miles.
The most I have ran
is 11 miles. I still have not done that in one run but have been hearing
that this race at
Disney is all about fun. Along the path, there will be
characters, breaks and pauses. That may be the case, but at this point and what
my body is telling me, I believe this will be my one and only half marathon I
will be participating in. I do like running and I am amazed at what my body can
do so far. It has definitely helped the
heart issues I had earlier this year. But I might stick to 5 and 10K races until my body
gives me a bright red light to stop. With the help of some
Rock Tape.
I am doing this run for my Lolo (
My New Angel),
who I miss dearly. I hope he is proud of me.
