I cant believe that the race is less than 2 weeks away! Im nervous that its so soon... I actually had a crazy dream last night about it. I dreamt that I forgot tons of my stuff, like all my gels and gu's, and then somehow all my stuff got locked in this random room, and in trying to get it out I started the race late. Then I realized we were running around this school and over all this jungle-gym stuff, it was really weird! Well, it freaked me out and made me realize how behind I am and that I need to try to get several more short runs in before the race!
I have given myself a new race goal... my original goal was to finish in under 2.5 hours... at this point Im not sure that it will happen, my general pace is about 11 min/mile, but that is usually for shorter runs, and since my long runs have been somewhat intermittent and the ones I have done I took walk breaks in, so I know my min/mile pace will be longer than usual, and in order to run the race in under 2.5 hours I need to do less than 11:30 min/mile and Im really not sure that that will happen. So at this point I will be happy to finish under 3 hours, which I think will be totally doable.
Although I am really nervous about the race I am really excited to see the girls! They got to go to lunch and go shopping for matching shirts for us and I so wish I had been able to be there! But I'm really excited to see the new shirts! I think it will be so much fun spending the weekend with the girls! Even the race doesn't go as planned at least I get to see them and spend time with them and enjoy our accomplishment of just finishing. That was what this whole thing was about anyway right, spending time together. Well, I will be sure to post all about it when its over! Wish me luck!
