9 Days...

Single digits...

It is now 9 days until my first 5K.  (7 technically since I'm writing this on Saturday)

And with the recent lack of training, I'm a little worried.

Its only 3.1 miles but right now it feels like 31.

I feel like I'm getting back to where I was before, but definitely not where I want to be by my first race.

I think the biggest fear I have is having to listen to myself breathe during the race!  I haven't picked up my packet yet so I don't know if headphones are banned from the race or not.  But from what I understand, it's poor race etiquette to run with headphones.  And you all know what a stickler for etiquette I am.  (as I look up the definition of etiquette)

Scaring my neighbors on the evenings that I run was bad enough, but scaring perfect strangers as they are forced to run along side me is a different story.  If anything let them wear headphones! 

I'm sure my Aunt Sonya can chime in on this as the voice of race experience.

But who am I kidding?  My competition will most likely not even be in earshot to my wheezing!

All kidding aside, here is a link to the race.

Tonight's run wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

3.73 miles, 39:55
