Prep Work in Numbers

    3-  workouts this week that ended in upchucking (apparently my stomach doesn't handle 6 or under pace very well)


  6:00-  yesterday's mile time


  5:54- today's mile time


   20- times I wanted to quit on the timed miles (and that includes a few times before I was even out the door)


  55°- the temp, I thought 55 was supposed to feel warmer


   2-  yup Nelly I'm absolutely wearing my lightest spikiest spikes. 


Either these:

Super speedy sister's college spikes
or

My HS Beauties :)

OR

Maybe I'll wear one of each
Dork

Either way they will have these:


   6- days till the big race(s*)  They actually have a countdown on the meet site.  I have to take a chill pill though, this week both my boys have off from school/work; the race is near the end of our little vacay and I want to enjoy my time with them and not just be eager/anxious for Thurs.  I wish it was tomorrow.

  70%- confidence level  If I can hold my pace from today I will be thrilled, except both today AND yesterday I wanted to DIE at the end of one mile.  Can I hold that pace for 1400 more meters?? We will see. 
 Hopefully track+spikes+race atmosphere= success :D

80's- music theme for Thursday night


* There is also a 1500 meter race after the 3k, entry is $15 unlimited events.  I'm leaning towards doing it cause. . . why not?  But then again I might be (and should be) completely shot after the 3k.  I do recover well usually. . . I guess you'll just have to wait till Friday morning  to find out what I do ;)


Good Luck to all those with races this weekend, I'm envious!!
