I’ve got a race tomorrow.   A race that until very recently, I had forgotten that I signed up for.   A race that I signed up for in my sub 2 NYC Half haze.   I wanted to race it again and I didn’t want to chance the lottery, so I signed up for a few races.   Then I forgot about them.

These things will happen.   Now I am running a 10K in Queens.

I’m going to be bold

I’m going to be crazy

I’m going to push the envelope

And

With any luck that means I will run fast

Very fast for me

No I haven’t been doing speed workouts, but I’m still going to go for it

Last year I ran the Queens 10k in 1:00:47

My 10k PR is 57:08

So I thought why not go for 55

Crazy, I know!

I’m not ready

I’ve been running slow

I’m in a rut

But

Still..

Maybe this is what I need.    I really think it is.

Why Not?

I may crash and burn

But

Maybe

Just maybe

With a little luck and some unicorn magic

I won’t

I’ll never know unless I try.

Now I’ve put it out there and you know too.

If I crash and burn, at least I will have tried.
