We're headed off in a few hours to do the 8K race. I think I'm ready. It's actually been a weird week exercise-wise because I've been really tired and have allowed myself to rest more than usual (which I might not have done had this 8K not been coming up). Consequently, I feel a bit unathletic and couch-potatoey which is sort of an interesting thing as I'm getting ready to go run five miles in public tonight. *grin* What's also odd is that even though I've felt sort of sluggish from not exercising as much, my body has felt stiff and sore almost like I had been working out with my usual intensity (maybe that came from not doing as much?).

I'm looking forward to it and really, really hope I don't have to pee during the race. I don't want to have to stop. I promise that I'll post tomorrow (or tonight, if I come home wired, which is a possiblity) how everything went.

Thanks to all of you for your encouragement and support. I can honestly say that there is NO WAY I'd be running an 8K tonight without this board. It's so awesome what we can accomplish when we support and encourage each other. :)
