Tinker Bell Half Marathon Goals

I'm writing this from my hotel room (on my phone), just before I try to fall asleep nice and early for my 4:15 wake-up!

We drove to Anaheim this afternoon, and spent a little time at the expo. Packet pickup was nice and fast, and the long-sleeved race tee is cute.

Pre-race dinner was steak at Outback with J, my parents and my aunt. I've basically given up on "carb-loading," so meat and veggies it was. Then we came back to the hotel, at which point I realized I had nothing on-hand for breakfast. A quick dash to the hotel mini-mart (and a break to watch the Disneyland fireworks from the staircase!) later, I have a Luna bar and I'm ready to go.

So...goals. They're simple this time around.

A-Goal: Have lots of fun! The whole point of running a half at Disneyland on my (30th!) birthday was to have a ton of fun and celebrate starting a new decade. So that's really the No. 1 goal tomorrow--the one that really matters. I want to have fun out there!

B-Goal: Sub-2/around a 9:00/mile average pace. A PR would be great, but it's all dependent on the A-Goal. I'll run as fast as I can, but only as long as it's fun! So just keeping it around a 9-minute pace will make me happy.

C-Goal: Not to run a personal worst. :)

Alright, it's bedtime!
