Just 5 More Days...

Holy $#!^! Just 5 days to go...

The feeling right now is more dread and anxiety than anything :) I tend to get very anxious to the point of feeling like I'm going to vomit with excitement the day of the race. Nothing like race day jitters!

Today was a decent run. 8.3 miles...what's one more mile?? It was brutal though...even though it was only a high of 68 the sun was blazing down and going at noon was kind of stupid...I take full responsibility for the poor decision/timing of my run...but I had to get the miles in. I'm glad I did and proud I found the time today. Now just 5 more days to go before the Gasparilla...God help me. I hope I'm ready. Looking forward to the race (sort of)...partly just to get it over with and also to see if I can meet my goal.

What will I do after this race? If you're not familiar with the River Run...there are 2 bridges to conquer...one big one within the last 2 miles of the race (if not the last mile)...so I'll be training over bridges during the 2 weeks in between the 2 races. But one run at a time, right?

Here's to a good week before the big day...keep your eye on the prize!
