Pre-Race Jitters

So tomorrow is the big race. We are going to be running with marathoners, half-marathoners, hard core bicyclists and, well, us lil’ 5k racers.

I don’t know about KJ but I have some pre-race jitters. Don’t get me wrong, I’m totally excited for this race, and I know I can do it. Heck, we’ve been walking 5 miles for a few weeks now and a 5k is only about 3.25 miles! Figuring out how to get there and where to go and getting my chip on right and not getting in anyones way, it’s a bit scary. But I really am excited.

Tonight is a prep night. I’m going to save my legs, pluck whatever needs to be plucked, try on my race outfit to make sure everything is smooth, get the chip on my shoe, plan my healthy breakfast, eat my carb dinner (it’s what the racers do!) and set a few alarms to make sure we get there on time.

Basically, I’m treating tonight like I’m getting ready for a date. Is it necessary? Maybe not. I just want to be as relaxed, ready and comfortable as possible to keep this a great experience!

Oh, and by the way, KJ’s knee and my knee and thigh are feeling much better, if not totally cured. Wish us luck ya’ll!
