Tomorrow, I’m running the 1st Annual There’s No Place Like Home 5K.
Or, rather, I’m going to attempt to run
I knew when I signed up for this race that I wouldn’t be ready. I knew I would not have completed the Couch to 5K program. But I thought I would have been farther along — I’m still on week 5.
Last Sunday, after successfully completing day 1 of week 5 – and feeling really good about it – I was confident that I’d be ready to run the race on week 6.
And then I got sick.
My voice started to go Sunday night and by Monday it was gone, replaced by a deep, persistent cough — my stomach muscles are getting quite the workout. I’m still coughing but at least I can talk above a whisper now.
I was hoping to finish tomorrow’s race under 44 minutes. I came in just under 45 minutes the last time I ran a 5k. Now, I’ll be happy if I can get through it without igniting a full-blown coughing fit.
I’ll let you know next week how I did.
Good luck! Hope the coughing isn’t bad, and that you’re able to have fun.
