It was a beautiful morning, but I slept through it still tired from last night's 8 mile. I felt bad, but I know my legs needed the rest. They are feeling better now, I want them nice and relaxed for Thursday's TC 1 mile. I'm very nervous about this run for two reasons. 1) I don't know how to pace myself for a mile run. Funny I run all these miles, (Nearly 400 for year) but I can't figure out a mile pace. I would rather run a half-marathon than a mile race. I guess you can blend into a half-marathon and can catch up to people, etc. A mile it's like blam the pack is gone and your there the caboose bringing up the rear, trying not to puke. 2) They are giving away a 1000 entries to the Twin City 10 mile in Oct. It's really hard to get into and I have missed in the past. I was able to beat the system before because all you had to do was be one of the first 600 people to register for the TC 1 mile and you were in the 10 mile. All I did was stay up to midnight and ping the server and I was in. Well people didn't think that was fair so they changed it to randomly giving away 1000 slots. I hope I'm one of them. My luck hasn't been that good so far this year. I missed Grandma's half-marathon lottery. The TC 10 mile is the end of my running season or has been for the last 3 years. So I really want to get into the race. We will see I guess.
