disappointed again

My family members are so lame. I'm leaving for Alaska for my second marathon. Neither of my sibilings said "good luck on your race" or at least "have fun in Alaska". I don't expect them to understand why I run and I've long given up on the fact that they will watch me run. At least out of common courtesy to wish me an enjoyable trip or a safe trip. Nothing. Am I asking for too much? I think from now on, I won't share about my running trips and races. When I do, I feel robbed of my excitement and all the hard work I put into it. I don't run to get support for my family, but it would be nice at least to hear once that "I'm proud of you." Instead I get a big goose egg, incredulous look, and even a look of disgust. Yeah, that's my family. I know it can be worse. At least they don't beat me physically only verbal attacks every once in awhile.

For the rest of this week, I'll remember to be grateful to the well wishes that I have received. Think of the positive:)! Another note to self, to stay away from family at least 2 weeks before my big races or maybe even a month. I know it's ridiculous, but I get such negative vibes from them. It's not healthy for me. I need to be in state of good mental health before I race.

Yes, I am stressing about my race in 5 days! Breath and breath some more.
