It's all about the Pig!

Two days till the Pig! The Flying Pig Half Marathon that is. I am so excited! My training has not been the best but my foot is feeling pretty good and I'm not trying to PR or anything. I just want to have a fun race and enjoy the Pig Party. What's not to like about a race with a Finish Swine and Pig Pens instead of starting corrals? I've got friends doing the full marathon and some doing the half, like me. At least one of my friends is doing the 5K tomorrow AND the half on Sunday. But we all know she kicks @$$!

Sadly, my cute pink shorts will not be flying with me but I've got other options to be in pink on Sunday - outside of my pink M-dot hat and pink pig ears. I've got a couple different choices - for instance a maroon and white singlet I recently received from St. Judes for my fundraising efforts for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. Remember: Gina Trias for St. Jude! But I also plan to do a little pink pig shopping at the expo tomorrow. :) My shorts WILL be ready for the Race for the Cure in October that I hopefully will not be laid up with bronchitis for this year. I realize this race is not on my calendar but I think it is the weekend before the Waterman's Half. I will see what I can do...

Today I am wearing for the first time in MONTHS work appropriate dress shoes. My feet are feeling OK so far. Of course it has only been about 1.5 hours since they've been on my feet. I need to make finding better work appropriate dress shoes a priority in the near future. Or else I'm going to be hurting wearing Spring/Summer work clothes. I'm so sick of my casual pants and jeans. I mean I appreciate the fact I can actually wear jeans to work, but... I miss my fun skirts and dresses! Today I am wearing one of them!

Happy Friday and Happy and Healthy Training!
