Zooma Annapolis 10K

Can I just say how excited I am? Erin and I leave for Annapolis in the morning. I want to go see the Sex and the City movie, but from what I hear it is next to impossible to get tickets to see it right now. I hope we can catch a matinee before we meet my WW friends for dinner. I get to meet Donut, Ames, and Feenicks!

I got my race packet in the mail yesterday and the shirt is cool. Of course, I would like it better if it was sleeveless, but I still like it. Good quality. I wore it doing the Shred yesterday. I can't wait to see what kind of necklace we get at the finish line. I hope it is not craptastic.

I am looking forward to the Expo afterward also. I don't know about free wine and champagne at 0800 in the morning, though. That could make for a long day. Must. Be. Good.

I have that nervous, anxious, "Can I do this?" feeling in the pit of my stomach that comes with every race. I look forward to the last 3 miles of it. The first 3 miles always steam my broccoli. I am not looking forward to that part.

I always ask myself, "Why am I doing this?" right before I start running. I have to remember to go slow and steady. Slow and steady wins the race. I am not competing with anyone. I am doing this to prove to myself that I can do it.

I think this will be my last race for the rest of the summer. I pass out so easy just standing in the heat. I don't think I need to run in it. I'll be a Fall, Winter, and Spring runner.

By Fall I hope to be even better at running. I'm doing good. A "short" run for me anymore is 3 miles. When I want to bump it up a notch I do 4. I think that is pretty good for someone that used to not be able to run a mile without whimpering like a little bitch.

Eh. I gotta do paperwork today. Then pay bills. Then clean the house. Then finish the laundry. Then pack. Then make sure I'm ready to go in the morning. So. Yeah. Guess I better go do all of that.
