woodstock 5K

I'm doing it. Running (i hope the whole way) a 5K. On Saturday.
It's the Woodstock. And there is a Pre-race Pasta Pigout on Friday night at Classic on the Noble that is INCLUDED in the race fee. And I'm gonna get a shirt. A dri-fit one.
I have to wear a number and am gonna be timed by a chip.
EeeeeK!
Brian is running too, but will finish in probably half the time I do.
But that's OKAY.
I'm transitioning from walking to running and I don't like to run cause it hurts and you can't breath so well. But I'm gonna do it and run the whole 3.1 miles.
I also just finished reading Killer Angels (see side bar). I loved it. It's all just so emotional. A crazy war. Brothers, friends fighting each other.
I've been looking at maps and eating up anything I can learn about that Battle of Gettysburg. Tragic.
So! When the rain stops I can go for my last practice run.
Brian says I have to take Friday off. To rest.
Sure thing. No Problem.

Yeah! We have finally found a book we both liked! Killer Angels - good book. There are others by him and by his son. They are good too.

I'm impressed - running a 5K - you go girl!
