Will I be a Spartan in Fenway Park? Pep Talk Needed

I ran 3 days in a row (Sat and Mon - hill repeats; Sun long run), and I did extra push ups and tri dips AND squats! Lunges! I'm a wreck over this Fenway Spartan!!! But I didn't forget my lipstick:) BareMinerals gloss in rose beige (below).
So I'm doing a lot of smirking because in the back of my brain, I'm thinking why did I sign up for this.....BECAUSE IT WILL BE FUN AND IT'S FENWAY PAHHHHK!! I'll be with my brother Stuart and cousin Louis, and the rest.....BEASTS!! Really? Why? Ok so I'm whining, but I had an awful day so cut me some slack.



My lipstick and a wonderful, too big, long sleeved Wounded Warrior Project Shirt (Under Armour) that I wore running in honor of my dad, a Korean Vet.  Hills in Nahant, up and down with B's cap on Sat. My new racing green UA compression shirt in a mens small. Yes, I can wear it as a mini dress, but I must say, it looks awesome! Did my core work out and weights in that.
Then my CCM shirt (thumbs down) on Sunday with my Nahant hat for an 8 miler at 9:30 pace....hills again.
*** Check out Suz and Allan's blog for WWP Run an 8K race this Sat, wherever you are and win prizes!  DZ runs long distance for WWP wearing a 45lb rucksack! 


So how does one end the day, when you feel like walking off the wharf because who cares??
You have a lovely glass (or two) of Concannon Merlot, and add this sign to the blog........


That's what I have to do, carry the hell on and dream about where my xmas vacation will be and making it through Sat morning. Man, where will the nearest bar be for a bloody mary?? Forget the beer!
Any words of wisdom or a pep talk will be much appreciated.

  2. What the HECK was I thinking!!!! Freaking out up here. I actually tried to convince the girls to ditch the race and just spend a day in Boston. Reasonable, right?

  7. As usual you over exaggerate. I think you will be ok. Are you a Weiner or a Winer? :)
