Two Days To Go

Forced myself to run today even though my meds have really screwed up my energy level. I drank sugary drinks beforehand and water but it was still hard. My pace sucked, which is frustrating, but I am getting longer strides. For the run, though, I'm going to keep it slow, at least at the beginning.

There is a 10K in October that the guys are running and I want to also (providing this 5K doesn't turn me off races forever). The high school girls' soccer team and Felipe are also running with us on Saturday, so we'll have quite the crowd.

Becky and I are taking tomorrow off. I'll probably just walk a mile or so. The race is at 9:00 in the morning on Sat and I never run in the mornings. I hate mornings. I detest them. I loathe them. I must go to bed way early on Friday. Bother.

I should probably jog half a mile before leaving home to warm up, since I doubt I'll get a chance to do that once we're there, although everyone except me forgot to preregister so we'll have to get there early anyway. And here I was worried that everyone else had already sent their registrations in and I was going to be the late one. Ha ha.

Justin loaned me a couple running magazines yesterday so now I get to read up on how I should have been training and where I can find super duper Teflon, titanium sports bras.
