May 6th, Friday, 7 o’clock p.m.
Always a little nervous……
After being justly chastised by a former runner, Meet of Champions winner Chris Robinson, for whining about the weather, I set out boldly for a pre-race run in the cold, rainy, windy, crappy weather today. Dressed once again for a February run, this time including the gloves, I managed to cover two and a half miles in 33 minutes. I think it was enough for a pre-race effort.
Early to bed and up early for a 9 a.m. start. l will have to preheat Achilles and calves plus a sore right quad before I leave home in the morning.
My race plan is to hit 2 miles under 16 minutes, then go into Black Box for the 3rd. Hopefully, I will survive my 2.5 mile test warm-up plan.
