Off on a new adventure!

Well, as Tweety Bird would say, "Th- Th- Th-That's all folks!"

I think its Tweety Bird...hhhhhhmmmm.

I'm headed to the airport in about 20 minutes - just finishing the last of my cereal and peppermint tea. My bags are packed and hopefully I didn't forget too much. It never ceases to amaze me how much "stuff" I take along on these things.

At least this time I've got the post-race week in Seattle and Alaskan cruise to look forward to. This is a first - but I've got MORE heeled shoes that I do running shoes. Shocker! Throw in a ball gown, some skirts, a few dresses, and um, yeah. Never really realized how much room four pairs of heels could take up. Silly, really.

It would be so much easier if the cruise allowed flip flops and running shorts. I would be so totally in. My pink compression socks would only make it that much better.

Things are still up in the air about Nathaniel being at the race. As of now he's got two more flights to complete - luckily he's scheduled for today. I won't find out until tonight sometime. So that's still left up in the air. Nothing like waiting until the last minute, right? (Kind of like my packing).

I just want him to be there - because I know how emotional of a day it will be. I want for him to experience it all...he's been there so much for me - through the tough times last year, my training, and then as things got A LOT better. Race day is a celebration, and I want him to enjoy the "celebration". (Somehow during mile 21 or 18 or whatever of the run, I have a feeling I'll be thinking differently). You never know.

And with that, I'm off. To the airport! And a new adventure.

Thanks for coming along for the ride.
