I need to learn to listen to my body!

I am posting for yesterday and today as well. Yesterday was a super long day and I had no time to hit the computer!! After work, I decided to do one more run before my race tomorrow. I was going to go for 30 minutes.

My legs were sore and my body wasn't too thrilled about going out there and running, it just wanted to sit around until class. But I went out anyway and it was a horrible run. I mean horrible. I ran at about a 12:30 pace and had to walk at 20 minutes, again at 23:00 and just didn't run again from there.

Now, today my body and mind are tired and my achilles tendon, closer to the inside of my ankle is sore but not swollen, luckily. Tonight calls for some serious resting and relaxing. My awesome husband is going to make me a belated Valentine's pasta dinner, so I will have some good carbs in me and I am hoping I can get a nice muscle massage out of him!

I can't wait to post after the race tomorrow, I hope it will be a good one!!

Part II

Will my race tomorrow be as exciting as picking up my race packet?!?! I am not even kidding! It was so awesomely exciting! Tons of people were at the Track Shack picking up their numbers and other supplies. Everyone was talking about tomorrow and everyone was so friendly and upbeat.

A few people were asking if the race was going to be cancelled tomorrow because it will be so cold at the start (32*, remember it IS Florida, that is cold for most people down here!)I am so excited! I hope I can sleep tonight! Oh and my new favorite number is 854, that is my very first running bib! I am going to frame it...am I a dork?
