Had an nice run this morning.

Well, actually it was more of an "O.K." run.  I finished but it wasn't pretty or easy.  Didn't sleep well last night + two cups of Diet Coke to wake me up + NutriGrain Chocolate Chip cereal bar does not = a great prep for a run.  Oh well. The breeze was nice, no humidity & 84 degrees.  Finished four miles at a 9:42 pace so I'm happy with that.  Saturday I've got five miles slated. I swore this time last year I was doing more miles at this point, but I'm following Higdon's plan again so I guess I'm on schedule.

Still can't decide to do the Full or the Goofy (half marathon on Saturday, full on Sunday).  Last year my knee gave me major issues so I had to walk the last 11 miles = a horrible finishing time.  I also didn't stop for pictures with the characters since I was so worried about the 16 minute per mile time limit.  Funny how before I started 16 minutes didn't seem that long & racing makes it an eternity!  I would LOVE to get all three medals: Donald, Mickey & Goofy, but maybe I should just enjoy the full this year & go Goofy in 2013.  Hmmm.....
