This year I am starting things off a little backwards....with a marathon that I am not fully prepared for. Even though I am completely out of shape, I am sure I can finish it...its all mental anyway. Once you start you really don't have a choice but to finish. Plus I think Michael won't let me get the tattoo if I don't finish. It will be my rendition of the picture above. It won't be exactly like that, but similar, just haven't decided on a color. THat is what I am most excited for!
What I am not looking forward to is crying at the Pasta Dinner...its going to happen I already warned Michael. I cry like 3 times a year might as well get one right out the gate.
I am the ultimate mapper, not so much planner so I have the whole city mapped out. What sucks is our schedule while we are there:
Friday 1/16 3am leave Waterloo (soooo not looking forward to this)
5am flight leaves CR
9:30am arrive in Phoenix
(roam around the city for 6 hours, I really have NO plans because I
have NO money, so its really up to Michael all I will want to do is
take a nap)
3pm check in at hotel
Saturday 1/17
The whole day nothing to do.
5pm Pasta Dinner
Sunday 1/18
5am wake up
7:40am marathon starts
***I am a little concerned with this late start time, as it is going to
take me over 7 hours to finish, I would like to be done before the
sun sets.
8am I will actually GET to the start line
**INTERRUPTION**
It is official I am doing the HALF marathon. Just found out there is a 7 hour time limit on the marathon...yeah I finished my last one in 7:19:43...and I was in GREAT shape then. Why they let me register for longer than that is beyond me. Most marathons have an 8 hour time limit.
This is great though because I will be able to take pictures of Mike crossing the finish line!!!
3pm TATTOOS!!!!
6:30pm Victory Party
Monday 1/19
11am check out of hotel
5:35pm flight leaves Phoenix
11:25pm get into CR
1am get to Waterloo THEN jury duty at 8am yay!
