I am going to run in Morgan Hill, CA tomorrow morning. The worst thing about these runs is they are early in the morning. Well, not too early, but I try to get there an hour before the race just to avoid the anxiety of being late. I haven't been sleeping too well lately so I decided I should sleep tonight around 10. I will get up at 6:30 pick up my daughter at 7:30 and be there around 8. The run starts at 9:15. Before I sleep I put my clothes that I will wear, I wear the same shorts all the time, the same shirt I wear to all the races (I will wear the shirt for that race when I run), sweat pants and a sweatshirt (I will wear the sweatshirt to run in if it is really cold). I sent a couple of the shirts I have gotten and the hat I always wear to my sister, so no hat for a while. I don't know if I am supposed to shower before I go to the race, but I do since I keeps me warm and makes me feel better, I don't really care how I smell. So, I get up, shower, and then eat a light breakfast of a bowl of cereal. At many races they have free bagels and bananas there, so I will eat one of each before I run. This race they have free smoothies so that will be good. If I could back out of this I wouldn't do it any more. I used to anticipate the races and look forward to them, but now I am dreading it. I guess that is why I had to make myself this promise so I would keep doing it. I have gone to the gym 4 times this week to prepare so I have a good time.
It is the first of April so it is the first race for the month. Next weekend I will race in Marin County, San Rafael, for the second April race. Then I work for six weekends in a row then I will have to do another race weekend in May to get both of those races in so I can work the following weekends which will bring me into June. July 29th is the San Francisco Marathon which I am planning on doing a 5K during. That should be a fun day!! Good night all and I hope you have a Happy Palm Sunday and a Happy Easter!
