I totally forgot about the Sporting Life 10K this weekend. I never signed up, which is kind of sad because I liked that race (downhill ftw!). I’m sorry you don’t feel ready for it. šŸ™ That’s one of the absolute worst feelings. But it’s downhill which will give you an added energy boost. The last 2-3k is flat with one minor uphill to cross a bridge, but then it’s a slow downwards slope to the end.

Have you trained for speed at all? I’m trying to now (for 5ks) and it’s not exactly the most fun thing I’ve ever done.

Anyway, I wish you luck this weekend! I wish I was running it with you! Are you in for the Pride run??

Hah! It was fairly tiring. Just watching the kilometers tick by slowly on my gps tracker was kind of painful. Frankly, sometimes I don’t know how I can run a half marathon either. My most recent run was 5k and I was like “okay this is good” and yet… I did four times that and then some about a week ago… The body is kind of mindboggling at times. If you train for it, you can pretty much do anything and the good thing is that your body just REMEMBERS the training and basically takes over (what a relief).

I’m glad I did it too! (Obviously haha) Honestly, the only thing that kept me going was knowing I had told people I was doing this. If I’d told no one, I probably would’ve just stayed in bed!
