Tomorrow AM's my first race (5k). My goal...to not be the last person in my age group. Wink

I'm hoping to run about 10-10.5 minute pace, so I'd like to finish in under 32 minutes. I'm pretty well-rested for the last couple of nights, so I think I will do OK. Smile

Good luck Kirsten! May the winds be at your back, and your feet swift, and go kick some asses!

You go, girl! By the way, no matter how it turns out officially, you're not the last in age group - that's my job! LOL! Have a great time! Smile

Heh, now I'll be thinking of that scene in "Liar Liar" when Jim Carrey is in the courthouse bathroom and says "I'm kicking my own ass!" Big grin

Kirsten, if I can keep up with you to egg you on then you're going too slow! My 5K PR is 39:10... Don't you dare let me catch you!!!

I'm just glad to know there is at least one person on the planet slower than I am! I'm not looking forward to running that 25k with Eryn next Spring--she's gonna hurt me! Sad

Ack, did not sleep for shit. Lots of REALLY weird dreams, too hot, too cold, too damned many cats wanting to use me as a mattress, DH wanting to be snuggly... So I got out of bed a bit early and showered; I feel pretty good, considering. And some of my best runs have been after a night of fitful sleep. Smile

I wouldn't dream of hurting you!! Well, not too bad anyways. Tongue
