trying to get to bed early tomorrow night and then our first race on Saturday. I am hoping it all goes well! My dreams about the race are very interesting!
leaving us hanging about the interesting race dreams?!
I'm off today... great weather, too - mid 70s and not a cloud in the sky. Same forecast for tomorrow. Race time temp here will be about 60 - PERFECT!! I'm off to do my pick-ups and I'm drinking plenty of fluids today.
Here are the dreams:
1. I show up in skin tight jeans and a long sweater. The officials announce to everyone that racer number 651 cannot race because they did not come in appropriate racing clothes.
2. I show up late. The officials announce that I have to run and catch up to everyone without getting swept. I start running and the whole race people are chasing me with brooms.
3. I trip and fall in the race. The officials announce that they have to stop the whole race so they can get the ambulance in to help me. No one gets their sweatshirt or free beer for finishing!
Glad to hear you will have nice weather for your run. We are expecting a high temperature of 40° tomorrow which means in the morning at race time it will probably be in the high 20s or maybe even in the 30°. I wish it would have been just a bit warmer here but at least we are not suppose to get the freezing rain that was predicted earlier in the week.
What are you eating before you go to sleep??
What the heck happened to our weather??? Totally unfair!
It is totally gross outside - cold and windy. YUCK!!!
Seriously, I am prepared so I think it will be fine.
It is Saturday morning and I am up and on my way to my first running race! Yep, last year I did do the 5K at Castaway Cay but I pretty much walked it. I also think there were only about 10-15 people. This is a REAL race...with 3000 people...running through downtown Minneapolis...I don't know what I was thinking!
Harry - Good Luck with your race today too!
Hope everyone has a great day! We will not be back home until much later as we are running with a bunch of friends and will be hanging out with them most the day.
Later!

Here we are before the race...
Here I am at the finish line!
way to go !
So I shoot for pace goals and little things like that.
Second - I went out too fast! I kept reminding myself over and over again, but I was 35 seconds ahead of my pace at 1 mile. Combined with my tummy issues - I gave that all back over the last km or so! 
Thankfully I was able to hold it together... another few yards though and I would have been done for!!
