Race Day

It’s early on race day and I’m awake after a very restless night. I think it must be because of the race; as my dreams were all race related. I don’t know why this particular race would cause any anxiety, as it’s just another ½ marathon, 13+ miles and I’ve done that plenty of times before. My goal is to finish in 2:45 (12.7 minute/miles) and with any luck at all, I should be able to get close to that.

I’m probably anxious because I won’t have my walking partner with me. With Steven having bronchitis and with crummy weather/roads, Jill will be sitting this one out. Since we had already decided that this was simply a tune-up race, we’re not going to be that far behind in our training for the Avenue of the Giants Marathon in May.
