Leaving on a jet plane

I'm leaving for Florida again. The weather in Ft. Walton is going to be only a touch warmer then it is here. It kinda made packing difficult. I have to honestly say that I tried my best. For nine days I only brought 3 pairs of jeans (i'm seriously thinking that is a mistake) 3 pairs of running shorts, 3 sports bras, 4 tshirts, 4 long sleeve shirts, 4 short sleeve shirts, 7 pairs of underwear. Yes, I'm going to have to do laundry. Tan boots, flip flops, running shoes, 2 pairs of dress shoes.......ok maybe I did bring a lot. Anyway it should be fun but I am already feeling home sick. What if I can't drink when I want to? What if my dad has no food in the house? What if I miss my tv shows? What if I can't run when I want to and how far I want to? What if the bed is lumpy? I don't like feeling not in control of what is going to happen each day or even each hour. eeeek! I think there is a word for this. Plus I don't know how much access to a car I'll have so I'm going to be totally dependent on everyone else. Maybe I should pack my flask afterall...I think I'm going to need a few drinks...I think the liquor store is a mile walk. And there is a bar called the Early Bird about half a mile. It's a total dive and opens at 7am.

Wish me luck. I have a half marathon tomorrow! I may run it easy with my Dad and turn it into a 20 mile training run. Or I may race. If I decide to race I would like to finish 1:44 or better. That puts me right under a 8 minute pace.

Also pray for my cat. He still hasn't come home. I miss him alot and I hope wherever he is that he is safe.
