3.7 miles~~only 5 days until Disney Half Marathon!

Today my husband had off for President's Day, but I worked as a make-up day for a snow day.  I headed home and got ready to run.  We were going to run this weekend, but the wind was blowing and the wind chill left it at 19 degrees!  So, instead we ran today.  It was closer to 40 degrees, and no where as windy as yesterday.  I still wore my Buff face cover, which was lucky, because the wind did blow a bit, enough to make my breathing catch and concern me.  But it wasn't too windy and cold luckily.  I felt really good running, and was able to concentrate on my form and enjoying the run.  

I have been a bit nervous on my last couple of runs.  First, because I really pulled my calves on my almost 14 mile run, I've been trying to speed their recovery and not cause more strain or damage.  Secondly, I've been nervous because I didn't want to fall, injury anything else, or do anything that might jeopardize my upcoming Disney Half-Marathon.  After all the training and miles that I have logged, it would be horrible to be hurt or unable to run for whatever reason.  Luckily, my run tonight was great!  I felt good, I ran well, my breathing was good...and I didn't fall!   

It is hard to believe that in less than a week, I will have completed my very first half-marathon.  I've been running for over a year, and training for the last six months.  I hope I can savor the days and experiences and not become too stressed or tired.  Wow...it is almost here!
