7 miles~~last run before Disneyland!

Today is Sunday, and a beautiful day.  Chris and I drove up to Harris Hollow so we could get a nice long run in on a flatter terrain.  We headed out and I tried to push myself a bit to increase my stamina.  I ran 7 miles and kept a pace of a little over an 11 minute mile.  It felt good to run a little faster.  My goal was to also not walk as much if possible.  I was able to do that for the most part.  
I know I won't run much before the Half Marathon this coming weekend.  We work all week, I have class Wednesday and Thursday night, and then will leave early in the morning on Friday.  Somewhere in there, I have to finish our costumes (we are going as Cinderella and Prince Charming) and pack my suitcases. I know how I am doing the costumes, I just need to find time to get it all done.  
Chris's costume is red shorts and a white shirt (all running attire).  I have used gold foam door hanger kits to create the epaulets for his shoulder.  I will hot glue fringe and trim around them and use a few stitches to attache them to his shoulders.  Then we will add a gold braid to one shoulder and a gold ribbon "belt" to the waist.  That is it!
Mine is a light blue Brooks tank and skirt that I will add things to. The peplums will be satin half circles I will sew on and the shoulder trim will also be white satin with stuffing sewn to the shoulders.  I have decided to dye a white hat yellow to be the blonde hair, then I will add a ribbon for the headband and pom pons for earrings.  I just need to find a ribbon or something for the black choker.  Now to find time to get it all done!
