The next order of business was to find some place to stay near Pikeville, TN. The nearest decent hotel was a Holiday Inn Express in Spring City, 19 miles away. The good news is that the race is in the central time zone. Despite the thirty minute earlier start time, I will get that little bit of extra sleep!!
Tomorrow, I get to do something I haven't done in a long time. I am running in a stand alone 10K. I am excited about this opportunity. There hasn't been any run only blood letting in a while, nor vomitting for that matter, and I feel like it is overdue.
Coach has prescribed a pretty standard race plan, and I intend to execute it flawlessly. Build the first two miles to a good pace. The third mile is steady. Then, for the second loop.... CHARGE!!! {queue trumpet}
It is times like these that we seek to break through our limits. I know I have a PR in me. The question is, how much? Only time will tell...
Have a great weekend, y'all!

LOL at the bloodletting/vomitting comment :) Isn't it funny what those short distance run races do to us? (of course I vomited at the finish line of a 1/2 marathon in December)
