So soon too! I am preparing to run another marathon in a few days... Well, a half marathon that is! My friends family decided that they didnt want to drive the 5 hours to Minneapolis to watch her race. So, enter - ME! I am sooooo excited! This is my first adult outing without family since my 1st child was born!! And what an awesome way to spend it- running with 5000 of my closest friends :)
Together we are looking forward to expo-strolling, unencumbered dinners and kid/husband free shopping. Plus no guilt about taking our time and soaking it all in b/c there is no one waiting for us at the finish line!
I am nervous about the possibility of hills, the ITBS can still be bothersome... I also need to address the issue of pace. Are we expected to stay together, cross together? Or is it our usual "keep on keepin on" attitude that keeps us in the same vicinity but noe necessarily together?
I see it this way- if my knee acts up, i dont ecpect K to wait back. If the hills are too much for my tired legs, i dont expect K to stay back. But if her under training comes through- am i expected to stay with her? If our pace begins to kick her butt, well- you get the idea! Not sure of the etiquette here- hence the need to discuss it. See, she isnt competitive, but i tend to get caught up in the atmosphere and the numbers... A sub 2 hour would be awesome!!
Oh well, this race is for fun, friendship, and health! Let the day bring what it brings :)
