April Runfessions
EEEE! My race is TOMORROW! I have to runfess that the world sounds like this to me right now: “Blah blah blah blah MY RACE blah blah blah blah RACE blah blah…” It’s hard to think of anything else. But, it’s the last Friday of the month, which means I’m joining Marcia for runfessions. Let’s see what else I have to runfess this month… As much as I’m focused on my race, I also realize THERE WILL BE A TIME AFTER THIS. Is one week enough time to recover so I can run this one? : I mean- how fun is that?!! Somehow I crazily thought this would be on May 5th, i.e. Monday night. But it’s Sunday, May 4th at 8 am. Hmmm… I runfess that I’m not sure I want beer and tacos at 8 am on a Sunday morning. Honestly, I’ll probably be in no condition to run it anyway. I’m already having a little FOMO though. Speaking of a time after this, I runfess that I’m wondering how I’m going to rehab my hamstring when this race is over. I’ve been completely focused on getting to the race in one piece, with vague plans to rest afterwards. But yesterday my sports chiropractor (who has been working tirelessly to keep my hamstring going) said “Resting will put out the fire, but it won’t rebuild the house that burned down.” Yes, I’ll have some rebuilding to do. My last runfession is that, regardless of how this race goes, I WILL be treating myself to a giant Coke Zero for the drive home on Sunday, muahahahahaha! No one can stop me. Tune in on Sunday for the Weekly Rundown- I’ll share the race results then! What is your “treat” for a long car ride? (This drive is about four hours). Would you drink beer (or a margarita???) after a Sunday morning race? Top photo by Mary Hammel on Unsplash
