Upcoming Race

Oh boy...next Saturday is my first race since the Marathon...and my first race since August.

I'm a little nervous. What if I don't do well? What if I don't place? What if I run like a slug? What if it's snowy and super cold?

I've got all these expectations... (Again, the expectations!) Seems sometimes I let the expectations get the best of me and my relationships. But in my relationships...I deserve the BEST! :) As for my running...I'm just nervous. I've been doing so well...and I don't want to let myself down.

The upcoming race is a 5K, so I'm shooting for no more than 0:26:00 overall which is an 8:22/m pace. Today I ran at an 8:52/m pace for 3.72 miles, not out of breath and not sweaty at the end...I'm sure I can knock 30 seconds off of that pace...

Blah, blah, blah...

...one of these days I'll post something joyful. Argh!
