Big Day

Today is the big day, and I am up early. I guess I am a little excited and a little nervous. The weather should be good: sunny, low 70s. Perfect conditions compared to last year, but I feel unprepared. I ran according to the training schedule and only missed one day. I weight lifted when I could, but still the last two weeks of runs have been hard. I have had to slow down or walk from time to time. I'm worried that this year's time will be worse than last year's, and that makes me nervous. Last year I had no PR, so anything I ran was good. Now, I feel I need to do better. I really need to just relax and have fun. No matter what I am happy. I raised a good sum of money for the American Cancer Society, and my entry fee for the race goes to the Hole in the Wall camp. I'm not running to win, just for the fun of it. So here goes nothing!
