Today has been an exciting day.
First of all, they posted the dates for the 2012 Disney Princess Half Marathon weekend and the day registration will open. In 345 days(Feb 26), I will be back at Disney running my second Princess half and finishing this time. I will register for the race ASAP on July 5th. I'm already making all the plans and such for where we will be staying. I'm very excited about it even though I know a part of me will be sad that my #1 fan won't be there. But I can't think about that right now...
The other thing that I am way too excited about is a very small but very encouraging milestone tonight. Tonight was workout 2 of week 1 of C25K. I can't believe the difference since Wednesday. Wednesday I posted about having some pain in my feet and calves and thinking that I needed new shoes. I was right and wrong all at the same time. I did need to run in different shoes but I didn't have to go out and buy them. I already own them. I'm not going to give you the full details until I know for sure they are going to work out. (I need to try them on a few more runs.) But after tonight, I am very optimistic and hopeful. I completed the work out tonight. I ran every segment and had no pain. One calf tightened up a little at the end but there was no shooting pain like Wednesday. I feel good, not defeated like the other day. I feel hopeful. I feel like I may actually be able to do this.
I know it doesn't seem like all that much to be excited about but I have to celebrate the little victories.

Yay, a C25K buddy! I bought some running shoes after my first couple workouts and I think it has really made a difference. And don't worry about small victories - that's the whole point I think. You definitely get to congratulate yourself after each and every workout.
I'll be following, hope it continues to go well!
