Holy Nerves!

Oh boy.  The nerves are really starting to set in now.  Butterflies in the stomach type nerves.  It's Thursday and the Cherry Blossom Ten Miler is on Sunday.  Blooms should be at their peak, which is awesome, me at my peak?   Not so much....hence the nerves.  I will be completely honest...I have not logged many miles since completing the Rock and Roll Marathon three weeks ago.  Sad face.  I gave myself a few days rest to recover, then got sick.  I couldn't run because the pounding of my feet made my head pound.  I lost about a week of training there.  Once I was starting to feel better, I went for a three miler which felt good.  My next run, I felt I had pulled something in my right thigh and each push off that leg was painful.  And, another training week gone while I tried to rest that leg.  Boo.  So here we are....almost race time and I have run a total of 3 miles.  At least I have still been teaching my spin class each week so my aerobic capacity isn't all gone I am sure, but it's scary.

I guess the least I can do is enjoy the view right?  Can't beat that.....

 

And if I am running slow, I can just say I am taking the time to stop and smell the cherry blossoms!  

Working on a pumping playlist to keep myself rocking the miles.

Good luck to everyone running this Sunday.  Happy Running!
