After seven months of training for it, I am just 43 hours away from my first ever competitive 5k! My race begins Saturday morning at 9 AM. Today I'm going to be getting my final practice run in and picking up my race packet.
I'm a bit nervous... last year this event, the Paige's Butterfly Run, had nearly 800 participants. I usually run by myself and with headphones on, whereas this Saturday I'll be with hundreds of others and listening to myself huff and puff for a half hour.
Most of my practice 5k's the last month have timed at between 24 and 26 minutes, so I'm hopeful to finish somewhere in that range this weekend.
Feel free to come out this Saturday and cheer me on! I realize that few, if anyone, is actually reading this, but if you are, then come by. The wife will be taking my son to karate class with my daughter along for the ride, so a cheering section wouldn't be unwelcome.
