Nervous... Nervous...
My first ever 10K race tomorrow...
I've trained for it. I know I am ready. I really want to run it under an hour. As I am human, the nearer to race time I get the less confidence I have. Why is that?
This is a community fun run. The same venue that last year I ran my first 5K in. That was a lot of fun.
My (umm... err...) coach (Tom, my friend) wants me to give it my all. He states adamantly again and again (and again and again) that it is a competition and that he expects me to bring it in under an hour. I suspect that he is trying to fire me up and get me ready.
I do look at it as a competition. I will give it my all. But I also look at these things as social networking. Getting to talk to other runners and compare notes.
Oh well... We'll see how I do. I'll post a race report sometime this weekend!
Last year - I'm #319. Tom (who for some reason elected not to run this year) is next to me (#320).

Charlie, good luck! I get the same way before a race. I have a half marathon next weekend and I'm a wreck! You're going to get your PR, I know it. Hey, anything is a PR if it's your first 10K, right?
What a great morning you will have! However long it takes you, you are a winner ... just for being out there.
Enjoy; best wishes.
Hey, good luck for this 10K! Will all the kms you run every week you have all the possibilities to run under 1 h, even much more less!
Oh Charlie! I hope it went well today! :)
Good luck Charlie, and congrats on your PR!
My first 10K was over 50 minutes (50:01). Just gave me something else to shoot for (breaking 50).
I hope it went well Charlie!
Looking forward to the report!
