This past weekend.. yes Im late posting, I did another 10k and beat my time by over a minute!! The race was in Gboro so I was happy that it was more local than the last one. I woke up and just didnt feel like eating anything. This has been the case this past week. I think its because I have been waking up at 6 instead of 645 and my body is still in sleep mode instead of eat mode. Anyways I did slam some cottage cheese and fruit down my mouth and went to pick up Alex.
I got there 5 minutes early (oops) better early than late! It was nice to have another runner to go to the race with. And I might add Alex's outfit made me jelous! She was all color coordinated from her shirt down to her shoes!! Pink top, black shorts, black and pink compression socks that were LONG and pink on her shoes. Me... red white and blue. (and no... I did not plan this and did not even realize that I was dressed "festive" until about mile 5.5 of the race).
Anyways about a week before the race Alex and I signed up for this "daily deal" and got our tickets to race for super cheap.. woooooo!!! We found our line and got our race bib and just sat around and waited til the race was to start. We ran into Brad, (Alex used to coach with him) and some stranger said hi to me in the bathroom (im sure they thought I was Val).
The race people decided to do the national anthem about 10 minutes before the race start so we all hurried up and waited. Then we had to wait even longer because there was something wrong with some of the bibs. IDK what is was but anyways...
I started off strong on the race and was sure to watch my breathing and not get caught up with everyone else. If I just relax, I wont cramp up in my stomach. The race went by very fast and then when I was near the finish I saw Alex and Ron. So supportive!! I raced into the finish and had to get some cold water... it was a hot one but good one.
