AFTER

December 4, 2006

I’ve started using the excuse of “oh I’ll do that AFTER the marathon” or “I can’t think about that until AFTER the marathon.” Right now, I just want to pack, eat well, sleep well and check of everything on the ten checklists, ten times.

I’ve traveled to races before, I don’t really know why I feel unprepared. I mean, I have checklists!

Situations in which I’ve used the race as an excuse to put something off:

Finishing my Christmas shopping.

Decorating for Christmas.

Getting a hair cut.

Going through the mail.

Any laundry that does not involve clothes for the trip (you should see my wardrobe this week, lookin‘ pretty hot!)

Writing Christmas cards.

Starting my end of year tasks at work.

And I’m sure, much more.

However, I have found time to book my villa.

Priorities.

Because after this week’s craziness is over, I’d like something to look forward to.
