Well race week is upon me and I'm fluctuating between freaking out and total calm. Last night I ran 5k in the ridiculous heat and while I was hot and a quite tired at the end I felt pretty good. I have a new mantra that I was chanting in my head, "You've got this", and it was helpful. I really felt like I could do this race. I think I'm going to be fine. The weather looks almost perfect and my legs and body feel great. I have a game plan and that's the most important part. Now I just need to figure out a plan for my family that day and all will be perfect. I want them there for the whole thing but I know that 3.5hrs is a long time for little kids. I need to scope out the route for parks and places that they can watch but be entertained at the same time, AND I need to plan snacks for them. The little ones are grazers and like to eat little amounts all. day. long! I will need to make a trip to the grocery store and stock up on fruit for them I think. Once I have them figured out I will relax more and be able to enjoy myself. It's going to be an emotional day but it will be worth every last second of it!
I'm sorry to say I don't have a picture this week. Something is going on with my scale and I don't trust the numbers on it. I thought something was off a week or so ago but thought nothing of it until I did a pre/post run weigh in just for kicks. It was terribly hot and I was sweating like crazy during my run but when I did the post run weight it was 4lbs higher than the pre-run weight. That didn't seem right at all. So I started weighing myself at random points during the day. I know weight should fluctuate during the day but what I'm seeing is just bizarre. It will fluctuate up to 4lbs in a matter of an hour. It's less than a year old but it has been bashed around a bit by the kids goofing around so I think I might just buy a new one that is better and a bit more durable. Hopefully next week I'll have things sorted out and a new picture for my post.
