As luck would have it there is a half marthon here tomorrow. I'm supposed to run 13 miles like my training schedule says. Easy choice right??? Well I signed up for the 5k instead....
Here's my twisted logic. If I entered the half my training calls for 13 miles at a 8:09 pace..
I really don't think I have enough self control to run at a specific pace during a race. I can hit my paces fine when I'm by myself, but the excitement of the race will suck me in and I know I will run too fast... And I don't have the miles in yet... Then I will crash and burn.
Just going to run my ass off in the 5k and try to get my 13 miles in monday or Tuesday morning.

So wish I could "control myself" and run a 8:09 pace! If I ever run that pace, you owe me virtual flowers!

Way to go! You are an inspiration!
