Race day No. 1

It's less than two days away. I'm running a whopping 5k on Saturday morning. Very excited, however, as this is the first "official" race I've ever participated in. As in, I paid money to go run for three miles. At least my money is going toward scholarships for college students at UW Bothell.

The best time I've logged on my training runs thus far is a 10:44-minute mile pace on a 3.5 mile run last month. So, with an slightly shorter distance, and the energy of a race, maybe I can duck under that mark. 10:30, anyone?

Tomorrow is a rest day, and this week I've been loading on protein, since I feel like I haven't been eating enough. Hopefully this all helps boost my energy, which has been lagging this week despite the beautiful weather Seattle is having. C'mon, tofu, help me wake up!
