Pre-Race Jitters and Dreams

You know you’re excited apprehensive obsessing about something coming up when you dream about it. Last night I dreamed about my BIG PR {hopefully} Race tomorrow. I dreamed that I decided to go to the gym first thing in the morning to get some sweat on and then went to a huge sporting goods store to look around and ended up being late to the race. I didn’t actually race in my dream so I don’t know how the sweating and browsing affected my racing. It was, however, a frustrating dream. To say that I am obsessing about this race would be correct.

So, yes, THE 5k is tomorrow. The Hale Freezes Over 10k and 5k.

The race benefits the Hale Center Theater in Orem, Utah. We love this theater they do great work and it is always fun for a night out. As part of your swag you receive a ticket to one of their productions – score, date night!

Mmm-K. Here are my A and B goals for tomorrow.

  • A Goal – Run under 30 minutes. This is what I have trained for!
  • B Goal – PR. This shouldn’t be too hard. My last 5K time {August 2011} was a blistering 35:03.3. I should be able to at least make my B Goal.
  • Most importantly I really want to enjoy myself tomorrow. This is hubby’s first race and I think that we will have a great time. I want him enjoy the race and want to do it again sometime.
I have a rocking playlist downloaded to the iphone all ready to bring home an awesome PR. {Okay, it wasn’t there when I just checked, good thing I looked or I would have been super sad tomorrow morning!} It’s about 34 minutes long. I’m thinking about cutting Katy Perry. Sorry Katy, it’s nothing personal.
