The engagement shock has worn off and I've turned into part-time, full-blown wedding planner extraordinaire (that's only somewhat of a contradiction). It's been one month and I have the church, reception venue, caterer and DJ all booked. My dress is bought and waiting for me in a secured vault at the seamstress.
The wedding planning is coming along quite swimmingly. The marathon planning, on the other hand.....that is swimming along like a cement block in Lake Union.
This is where I'm all out of whack— I haven't been able to balance the two very well. My running has suffered in the name of invitation designing and reception idea brainstorming. Tell you what— it's a good thing I am my own designer, because the bill for my hourly labor spent so far would be more than I spend on rent for the year.
And while I've been told "that's okay, you should enjoy this time of your life since it only happens once", I can't wholeheartedly agree with that. I NEED running. I NEED the escape, the fresh air, the energized feeling, the lack of guilt when I eat 4 Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs. Seriously, what do they put in those things to make them so tasty and addicting?!?
So I've decided that while I have my 'Handy Dandy Little Wedding Planner Organizer' binder thingy, I need to get my 'You Are Going Running and There Will Be No Excuses' schedule thingy planned out so I stay focused on keeping myself (and everyone around me) sane.

Sounds like you are moving along with the wedding planning. You can use your runs to help you think of ideas or work certain wedding situations or ideas out. That way you are not neglecting one or the other. Best of luck.
