Two Days!

Countdown is officially on! I can't believe I'm down to two days; the last couple months have flown by. I'm still nervous about how I'm going to do. To say my training plan has been a bit all-over-the-place would be being nice. I haven't really been sticking to a great plan. Kind of a mix of things because I didn't know where to place myself (experienced or middle of the road runner). I know I am somewhat experienced since I've been running for a while, but it's not like I've been following great training plans for a long time. Anyways, it'll be interesting to see what happens on Sunday. My minimum goal is to beat my previous time, which is 4:05:59. That's a 9:40 minute mile and I think I can beat that. I'm hoping I can anyway! My ultimate, "holy crap I did it" goal is a 3:30. I'd love to run a 3:30, but that's an 8 minute mile and I'm not so sure I can do that. The McMillan calculator predicted I'd run a 3:33 based off of my Army 10-miler time. So, I'll just go out there aiming for an 8:15 pace and see what happens!!

I just checked the weather and it's looking FANTASTIC for race day!! Start time temp should be around 42 degrees and by the time I finish it should be around 56 or so. So I think this means I'll be wearing shorts and a tank with a throw-a-way long sleeve shirt. I get warmed up quickly so I could probably run in just the tank and shorts and wear gloves and a headband. But I'd hate to be cold and not warm up properly so I guess I should play it safe :-)

I'm also hoping to meet Lil Runner this weekend since she's also running. This will be my first meeting of any of my blogger friends I've made over the last few years.

OK, off to do the laundry, make some food for the weekend and pack. It is just a little more difficult planning the weekend with a lil one in tow :-). The hubby will be on kid control by himself on Sunday so that shall be interesting! I think I am more happy for the great weather for this reason than I am about running in it!

Keeping my fingers crossed for low-anxiety/nervousness and a great weekend traveling!
