Quick Thoughts

First, thanks to everyone who has encouraged me since Cotton Row. Cotton Row is one of my favorite events, and I hope to be able to run it for years to come. It's a classic. I'll probably keep it as a circle on my calendar, too. I'm going to want to be at my best for that race every time I run it.

I haven't run since Monday, and I don't know when I will again. We're at Disney World, so I figure I'll get plenty of walking in over the next few days. I still plan to run as much as I can while I'm here, but I'm not sweating missed workouts this week. The important part of this vacation is time with my 3 favorite girls in the world! I'll regain any fitness I lose from this when I get back to reality.

I learned a few things from Monday.

• I'm not as fast as I think I am! :)
• I can still get faster.
  
• I can have a bad race and a great day in the same day.
• I should set more realistic (but still challenging) goals.
  
• I have a pretty awesome set of family and friends around me.

Happy summer vacation! I'll tell Mickey "Hi" for you.
