1 - I Ain't Scurred of No Aliens

Yeah, that's right. I leave tomorrow! Needless to say I am super stoked! I have downloaded Season 4 of Kitchen Nightmares and Season 2 of Cake Boss, I have my Kindle prepped and ready, my last load of laundry is in the dryer as we speak. I am completely checked out, and received my Joint Service Achievement Medal, all that's left is take my bags to get checked by customs, sleep, and wake up! So freaking stoked!!


I also have some amazing news! Are you ready?! I did it! I officially registered for the 2012 Walt Disney World Half-Marathon!! (If you want to be my BFF and run with me, go register here!) I had to sell a few organs on the black market to be able to afford it ($140 for a half- marathon?! Are you freaking kidding me?!), but it's Disney! I pretty much would do anything for Disney. (Me and a million other people, which is how they get away with robbing us blind!) 


I'm hoping to also register Shane, he said he definitely wanted to run it with me, but he has been having some knee problems, so I want to talk to to him first, to make sure he is able to before having to promise to sell my firstborn to afford his fee as well. You better believe I'm paying for him if he's able. That man spoils me rotten, and I am always trying to figure out ways to "get him back", since he never wants anything! Plus, this whole running thing is totally my idea. So while I'm still bringing in some dough.... might as well make the most of it, before Shane Sugar Daddy has to front all of the bills... Haha.


I figure since I'm putting Mickey and Minnie through college forking over the $$$ anyways, might as well make the most of it. Stay at one of the resorts (probably the military one, since it's cheaper!), and maybe do the VIP treatment. But I have to talk to the boy before I make all of those plans! :) I should be able to talk to him as soon as I'm in Virginia, as long as our flight isn't delayed, and I can get to Verizon before it closes!


Anyways. I know I should be posting more about how I am so excited to be leaving (and I am!!!), but the whole registering for my first race kinda stole the spotlight from other things! Haha. Here are my fitness goals.


April-June (or maybe May-July) - do the P90X (maybe Insanity version)
September - January - fully devoted to half-marathon training


I also will keep running, throw some swimming in, and definitely yoga the whole time. That's the plan! :) I don't have any photos (there were some taken at the award ceremony, and if I can get my hands on them I will post later!) So I will leave you with this random photo of me taking on the Alien.






Dang. I make Casper look tan. Not to self. Bronzer. Have a great day, y'all! I'll try to make some auto-post blogs, since I have no clue when I'll be able to get back on here. I'm thinking of having of 'Return to America' giveaway... Whatdya think?!

  5. EEE youre leaving tomorrow!!! Safe travels, girl! And congrats on signing up! $140 is a hefty amount, but only a little more than the Rock-n-Roll races (why are all races so expensive?). That race sounds like it will be a blast, If I lived on the east coast I would def do it with you! xoxo!

    Also yay for the 1/2!! I've heard the disney is an amazing race---if I could run right now, I'd totally do it. We considered it last year (me the half, joe the full)...but it didn't happen. Have a great trip home!
