All of a sudden this 5k that I signed up for is tomorrow, and it snuck up on me. Not surprising - I always thing that I have more time than I actually do (all those late birthday cards can attest to that) and I'm nervous as hell about the race. This week was super stressful at work as I was covering for Rebecca (who got married!!) and I didn't run at all. Not.one.step. Now I'm thinking that could be a mistake. To top that all off, apparently Parrish & my in-laws are coming. I honestly didn't know I was going to have an audience. Now I feel that I have to kill it because I have people there.
Despite all the nerves, I'm trying to focus on what my dad used to tell me - "Just have fun kiddo". Even so, my goal is to run this in 30 mins or less, which is pretty daunting in itself. That's about a 9.5 minute mile - which I think I can do - but it's been so long since I've run one that I've got to get past this first one to be confident about it.
Picking up my race packet Friday was cool though - it brought back a lot of good memories. Plus I got free socks. =) I'm such a nerd.
Wish me luck tomorrow!

ReplyDeleteGood luck! I'll see you at the finish line, since you're obviously going to leave me in the dust. ;)
