So Memorial Weekend is upon us. For most of us that means cookouts and parades. For me, it means my first big race. I would be lying if I said I feel totally ready and excited. Fact is I am nervous and really questioning why I signed up for such a big race when I have never been much of a runner before. I need to keep these things out of my head. I need to go on Sunday and just do my best. If I have to walk, so be it.
This is a huge challenge and something I wanted to do for myself. I will feel so proud when I can say I completed a quarter marathon. Something I can share with Lauren as she gets older too. I want to be a good model of health for her. She always asks me about my running and weight training. She enjoys stretching with me when I am done. It is really very sweet.
Sadly the weather isn't looking so ideal for race day. The temp keeps inching upwards, as well as the humidity. I think currently it is at 85. ICKY! Oh well, what can you do? Thankfully my race starts about 8 and I hope to be done before 10, so maybe the worst will not be here yet. All those poor full marathoners though.
Well, wish me luck as I cross off one of the first things on my TO DO LIST of 2010! Have a safe and fun Memorial Day weekend everyone!
