Well, tomorrow is the (sort of) big day and, as par for the course, I have a sick four year old and a bailing husband. Which essentially means that on this day of rest and preparation, I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off, trying desperately to arrange in-home babysitting, get sheets washed to get rid of germs, wash running clothes, clean the house, take the baby to the doctor, get prescriptions filled, get ink for the printer so I can print a 26 page article for my daughter's research paper and maybe then I can rest. Oh, let's not talk about getting supper together. ARGH! NOT the kind of running I thought I wanted to do today.
I have only worked one day this week. Thank goodness for an understanding boss. Monday is arraignment day. Little man HAS to be better by then! The good news is my Road Running club has a fun run on Sunday, so I will be ready for a recovery day on Monday, which is good since it seems that there won't be a minute to run.
So, hopefully if all goes well, I will race a 10 miler tomorrow. My goal is to finish strong (aka, not look stupid) and to get a personal best. I ran a 10 miler in 2006 at an 11:00 minute pace. I am hoping for a 10 minute pace tomorrow, which will come to 1:40:00. I have trained on long, tough courses, so it is time to trust the training and see how it goes. I think this will give me some idea as to where I am in the half marathon process. We shall see...
