really a normal feeling. 19 marathons, slightly fewer halves and who knows how many others - i still am a bundle of nerves at various points in training. It is a very human emotion and a very important one if channeled correctly. If you freeze with this emotion it becomes a self fulfilling fact. When i get the little fear pangs i use that as a need to review where i am and where i have been. For you. Look at your training plan. I know you have a little discomfort with the mid week runs so take this time to modify if needed. Look at where you are and where you have come from. 4.6 miles is a long way if you never took the first step. You are doing great. A 13 minute pace will quicken some once you are in the florida winter weather and have completed your training. It gives you 39 minutes to goof around in the mk and epcot, to take an extra break, to tie a shoe or pull your shoulders back hold your head high and take in a deep cleansing breath.
I have a mile by mile report on the half.

you may want to read to calm your nerves. I would look at the map and put these spots in your mind as you make your long runs.
Start. merge point of vacation club dr and epcot dr.
Mile 1 we approach the overpass over the epcot exit from our direction. Look left at the overpass from the parking lot to the exit on the other side of the road and you see the last hill. Ominous but doable. Look harder left in the first mile and you can see glimpses of space ship earth shimmering in the morning fog.
Mile 2 entering world drive from epcot drive. just passed under the monorail and the view is opening.
Mile 3 just passed the tool booth for mk parking and starting a left bend in the road. The disney race track is on the left.
Mile 4 just crossed under the seven seas dr on the tram road and entering ttc. The first big crowd presence of the race.
Mile 5 having survived the under pass under seven seas lagoon and passing the contemporary resort we hit the u-turn onto the cast member service road. Looking ahead you see space mountain.
Mile 6 is in frontierland and passes way too quick. We came into mk at tonys and took a hard right into main street usa. The crowd is on the left and this is truly the most exciting stretch of road in the race. Dare to not get pumped. As we approach the park hub we head right into futureland and go past the indy cars, tea cups and make a left at the carrousel. Trumpeters wait as we approach the castle and pass through the castle. Smile coming out as it is the red carpet treatment with numerous photographers taking shots. Its a hard right, a left bend and a hard right and we clear the castle. Look left and you will see the main street crowd again. It gets quiet as we approach the mile post.
Mile 7 quiet. Things quiet down as we head for the cast member exit near splash mountain. Its downhill chute past the waiting steam locomotive and you are back stage. An aid station waits. Then over a steel grated bridge and onto floridian way. You are at the northern most point of the course head south for home.
Mile 8 just after mile 7 marker gf is on the left. Followed quickly by the poly. We pass seven seas drive again just after the poly and the crowds disappear.
Mil9 9 is at the hess service station. Just before the mile post to right you see a road head off into the woods. It is bear island road and is the mile 13 point of the full.
Mile 10 pretty much the same as mile 2 but in reverse and on the other side of the road there is a gel stop just before the water stop in this mile. Do not be tempted to take the gel too early (if you take one at all).
Mile 11 the hill country. As you pass mile 10 you cross under epcot dr. You see other runners up on the bridge. Wave. This mile is all about getting through a 270 degree clover leaf style exit. It is banked and climbs 30 feet over the mile. (in numbers it does not seem bad so remember how small it sounds on paper during the race) i coach my runners to start on the low side of the exit and attempt to take the short path around the loop. If you find that you are passing lots of folks start to slide up the slope or if you are having ankle/leg issues with the slope then slide all the way up to the top. You add a couple hundred extra feet but the earth id flat and smooth just off the roadway.
Mile 12 is in the parking lot oh you do come over two more hills since the mile 11 marker. You are starting the first at the marker and the last is the entrance to epcot parking. You saw the hill earlier in the day. It looks really bad since you see the side first. It is a 35 foot climb. It starts with a sharp left turn then up the slope. See if you can run the hill. I know you are tired but it is the last hard thing you have to do and it will be an on course victory to charge the hill
.yes you can walk down the back. As you approach the mile 12 marker you see the crowds again.
Mile 13 is just before the finish. Between the two mile markers is epcot. You enter in a cast member entrance right of the main entrance and enter the park near the front restrooms just before space ship earth. There is a small slope up to the bottom of space ship then down to the lake. You circle back up past the fountain and under space ship earth once again and exit the park to the right.
Passing mile 13 backstage we pass out of the park and into the finish chute area. The crowds are yelling. Celebrate and take in the noise and excitement. You did it.
) with a friend that pushed one with her two boy-total of 90 lbs. and when she ran an event w/out the stroller she was so fast.
Lucky for him, I was NOT the last person. 
I was about 2.5 total minutes slower than I normally run that distance, but this race was on the beach (sand is hard to run in!) and a pretty good head-wind coming in after the turn-around. But what a fun experience! My trainer ran the race as well and after pumping me up before the start told me that there would always be someone ahead of me and always someone behind me so don't worry and just have fun. Now I'm looking for another 5k to do and plan on asking her when in my training I'll be up to a 10k to try.
It would be a great training business though - babysitting/running training. Great upper body and lower body workout and break for Mom!! 
What 5k's are you doing?
