ALL DRESSED UP....

With no place to go! At least that's how it feels (sort of!). It's off to Disney tomorrow, but for a regular, ordinary vacation instead of a SPECIAL vacation built around running the Marathon on Sunday.

And oh what a day Sunday could have been! Up early and to the Starting Line by 6. Then the race thru Disney ending a bit before 9:45 (Boston Qualifying Time!), post race celebration and triumphalness (word?) in the Epcot parking lot where it all ends, then back to the room for recovery, ice, food, laying in bed and Jets Playoff and, hopefully, victory, starting at 1 PM. Then, going off to dinner with my friend Janet, to one of the fun restaurants wearing my Mickey Finishers Medal, impressing the non medalists and basking in the shared admiration of my fellow marathoners. One definition of THE PERFECT SPORTS DAY!!!

Alas, not this time. Yes, I'm mature enough to know that I shouldn't run. I get better each day but even today I'm not fully healthy. I'll do the smart, safe thing and go for a regular old vacation.
