I know a ton of other bloggers will be in attendance for the race, so if you see a 20-something, fo-hawked mom of three while you are out and about, please introduce yourself. I promise, I don't bite. Usually ...
2. As you all know, the most important part of race day preparation is outfit selection. For last year's Princess Half, I dressed as Belle. I wore yellow from head to toe and even sported a tiara. But this year, I'm taking a different approach. I'm going to be a Punk Rock Princess, donned in hot pink and lime (with the signature fo-hawk, of course). It will be nearly impossible to miss me. Just look for this outfit ...
It's my goal to prove that you can look cute and still be bada**.3. I've said it before, but I have a thing for numbers. I almost always dissect my bib numbers to find the "hidden meaning." My number for Sunday's race is 750. I like this number for many reasons. First, it's low, which means I'm practically an elite. Second, 7 is my birth date and my favorite number. And third, I like to think that it means I am going to PR by 7:50. Yes, it seems like a lot, but it's quite possible. A 7:50 PR would fall right in the range between my goal (1:55) and the projected time from my January 15K (1:48). I know I can run somewhere in that range. My only concern is the temperature. It's forecasted to be 60 degrees at the start, much warmer than I'm used to.

Projected 1:48??? Wow (gulp), I feel the pressure. And it's snowing outside my window, not sure I can even get to the gym today.
I hope it doesn't get too much warmer than 60 for you guys. But, you may not need perfect weather to crush that 1:55!
I love the punk rock princess idea! And best of luck in your race- you're going to do amazingly!
Adorable outfit, and I am so excited that someone else out there finds meaning in their race numbers, too! And you're totally elite with 750. Bam!

Why stop at 1:48, I think the 750 is actually going to be your pace, I feel a 1:42 in your future! :) No matter what, you're going to rock and you'll definitely look good doing it! Good luck!
Your training is so solid a 7:50 PR is completely on the table! As for heat you are used to running in the heat during the summers in VA. Simply tell yourself that it's July and drink!

I am starting to have vibes about race numbers too. I just realized only one of mine has not had a 3 in it. Now my eyes are open for those 3s. I can't wait to do that half. It is not an if just a when. Can't wait to hear about it. You'll rock!
Have a great time! Knock that PR out of the park!
I kept an eye open for that outfit - mainly the socks - before the race. Obviously in the sea of people I never found you - but I know you were there!
