5k tomorrow

Sage Mommy

I'm nervous and excited. I'm afraid if I don't hit my goal time, I'll be disappointed that I'm not in as good as shape as I imagined. I'm trying to have the mindset that it's all about fun, but the competitor in me is rearing it's head. I haven't raced in ages. I was going to do the 10k, but I figure I'll work my way up to it. I just didn't feel ready now (and old). I broke out my lucky running shorts from college cross country, but the elastic went bad:(

Wish me luck and if I break 21 mins, I'm going to be a major AW tomorrow. lol

Good luck!  You shouldn't be down on yourself if you don't make your time limit.. You should just be proud that you did the 5K.

I think you get to be a major AW just for finishing. No way I could do a 5k right now. Or probably ever.

You'll do great. Good luck!!  Let us know how you did!

Thanks everyone! I'm going old school and throwing myself a pasta party tonight:)

wow 21 minutes would be a HUGE reason to AW! I was stoked to get 29 minutes (but I was pushing DD in the jogger LOL)

I tried a jogging stroller and just couldn't adjust to not having my hands. I think that's a great time with a stroller!

Thanks...my friend and I are running in the Muddy Buddy in Miami in a few weeks...in January we have a team of 12 girls running 185mile relay race from Miami to Key West!

Shoot..I couldn't run a block. You've got every right to AW, no matter what your time.

Good luck, I'm sure you'll do awesome!  I love running but I haven't had the guts to enter a race yet.

Awesome and good luck!  I'm a runner too and it has been tough getting back after having LO.  I haven't broken 21 PP but I think I might be able to now.  I haven't run a 5K since May.  I just ran a XC 10K last weekend and did really well-I suprised myself for sure.

Good luck and def come back and AW tomorrow regardless of your time.

Good luck! You'll do great! I agree you should totally AW no matter your time. 21 minutes is FAST don't beat yourself up if you run it fast instead .
