Friday the 13th

I've had a pretty bad couple of days with personal stuff, but I think Friday the 13th was the last day of bad luck. Knock on wood!

One bad thing was that I couldn't get contacts. I learned that at the eye glass place I go to, the doctor won't prescribe me contacts because of a cornea ulcer I had two years ago. It resulted in a scar in the left cornea so he wanted to make sure I didn't hurt my right cornea. Meaning, I will now always have awkward race photos with bouncy glasses.

But I guess things could be worse. I could be blind. Glasses is infinitely better than that.
Glasses aren't so bad with a witch's hat. 
Even though it's upsetting, I'm going to try to stay positive. And I do most of my training runs with glasses anyways so it shouldn't be that  much of a problem tomorrow. 

Tomorrow will be my first race with glasses. If the day is bright, I might try out the prescription sunglasses I just got. 
Picked up my bib! I love picking up race packets. It's just as fun as the race without any pressure. 
Wish me luck tomorrow! And good luck to everyone running tomorrow! We can all reach our goals. Does anyone here run races with glasses? It's not that bad, right?
