Tomorrow we race

The big day is upon us...almost. By this time tomorrow, I'll be on the second mile of my 5k. I am so pumped and excited! There's a tinge of nervousness too, but I think that's to be expected. I'm really trying to prepare myself mentally today. I'm trying not to overexert myself. I'm really watching my calories. I'm trying to stay overly hydrated. I'm sending my wife to the local sports shop for another McDavid Calf Sleeve. I already have one and it does a good job of relieving pain from calf strains and shin splints.

I just can't wait to get out there and prove to myself that I can do this. I also that running with others will be a good way to spur myself on. If I can continually look ahead and find a runner that I want to catch up to, I'll keep my competitive edge.

So send up a prayer as you think about it tomorrow!
