Am I a Diva or a Runner?

I have a tremendous amount of respect for any woman who can maintain a full time job, a comfortable lifestyle, train for marathons and have long hair!


Can I confess how much of a "diva" I decided to be this morning when my alarm started singing to me at 6 a.m.? First, I hit snooze twice... telling myself that I really do not need to be out of bed till 6:10! Then at 6:15 I became annoyed with my alarm, started thinking about my run, how many miles I needed to put in before 7 a.m., taking a shower and honestly, the entire process of drying, straightening/styling, make-up, getting dressed, quite-time, having breakfast and preparing lunch - so, I reset my alarm for 6:50 deciding to do everything but run! I know, I get it, diva weakness. 


Now, hear my case. I would be rushing. Had I gone to bed earlier that previous night, a 5:30 alarm would have been the best option - but I didn't.


I started my training program last Monday for a half-marathon at the end of October. I'm excited about actually "officially" running one. I have put the miles in on random runs, but have never had a number attached to me or run through a finish-line. Lance Armstrong, however, has congratulated me on my Nike+ a few times but still that's not an official "let's put a sticker on the car" run.


In all reality, I hope that I can mature into one of those ladies who has a full time job, a comfortable lifestyle, trains for a marathon and can maintain long hair!


Oh, and I am putting in my miles after work today - some weights in the morning and I'm thinking I need to update my blow dryer to an ionic - Am I a diva or a runner?
