Tomorrow's The Day!

Yes, I know.  It's Thanksgiving tomorrow..  


But, it's also the day of the 5K Turkey Trot I'll be running.  Eeek.

I think I'm ready.  On 2 different occassions I went around our block (which is slightly more than 3 miles).  I ran most of it both times, with a few walking intervals.  Our block is anything but even.  The first part of our block is down hill and then there are a few spots where I'm going uphill, way uphill (that's where I did my walking).


The map for the 5K looks like it's going to be a fairly flat, even running path.  It's in a little college town (my alma mater actually), so there shouldn't be too many hills and valleys.  And, I'm fairly certain I won't have to dodge horse manure on the road (like I do now).

Soooo I'd like to try to run the whole thing.  But, I'll certainly walk in parts if I need to.  And, I'd like to try to finish in about 45 minutes.  That's about how long it took me when I did my block & that included walking segments.  


I'll let you know how it goes...


Oh, and by the way, I'll be doing this on my own.  My sister, who originally asked me to join her in doing it, bowed out.  She has a legitimate reason.  She's hosting Thanksgiving dinner at her house, so she's going to be a bit busy.  Anyway, I'm a little nervous about running alone.  But, it's not like I'm going to feel like talking, right?


Wish me luck!  I'll try to imagine all of you cheering me on.
