It's finally here...race week!!!
Of course it can't come without some impending problems....like Winter Storm Q (yeah, apparently weather guys up here were getting upset that our big storms don't get names..) that's supposed to drop a foot of snow the day I am supposed to leave for Texas. While writing this we decided to leave a day early to just not play with fate or Mother Nature (she's a real testy lady). Also, if I haven't mentioned my training for this half marathon has been (put on your ear muffs) a total shit storm. I've been teaching cycling classes 4x a week, take college classes 4x a week, and do crossfit 4-6x a week. Plus last week I got the 'end of the world, I hate my life, put me down now' stomach flu. I was pretty much on a Gatorade diet from Tuesday-Sunday.
I'm hoping some serious adrenaline will kick in and my new strong muscles will carry me through the 5K on Saturday and 13.1 miles on Sunday (did I mentioned I signed up for the Cowtown Challenge..yeah it comes with a sick medal)!
I have no plans or estimated finishing time for this race, just because of how poorly this training has gone. I just want to go out there, maybe without my watch (?!), and hopefully fall in love with running again. I want to enjoy the company of my family and the scenery of Fort Worth (yes, I'm serious..I LOVE Fort Worth). I'm kind of excited just to have fun and no pressure on this race!!
I plan on using ENERGYBits about halfway through to help me finish this race! I'll let you know how it goes!
Do you have any big races or events coming up? How do you deal with obstacles that come up?
