When it comes to racing, I'm extremely superstitious. I've never actually asked any of my friends if they were also. I mean, I realize it probably is a little normal to some extent, it gets you pumped up, but I think I have a slight ocd overload when it comes to the stupid stuff I do before a race. The day before I always run 2miles. I take a shower before bed and then paint my finger & toe nails. Race day, I always wear my leopard print socks, and the same sports bra, which I refuse to wear either of those when I'm not racing. I usually wear my Elite Feet uniform, but it varies on the race. On the way to the race, I always listen to the same song. It doesn't matter what songs I listen to after that song, it just has to be the first one. Then at the race, I have to warm up for exactly one mile alone. Nothing more, nothing less. And alone. There was one time I didn't paint my nails before a race because I didn't have any nail polish remover. And guess what, I broke my foot! So I shall stick to my routines. ha.
Thanksgiving was awesome. I'm not even how slow we ran it, but I'm pretty sure it was close to my half marathon time, but it was only a 10k. It was the first time I dressed up in costume for a race. We all pushed Isabel each for a mile, then she got to do the last mile! She's the coolest 5 year old I've ever seen, and not because she's mine. She just is. How many 5 year olds love running?
I ran on my own today for the first time in a while. Felt nice to unwind my thoughts, I needed it after a long month of work. My legs are a little achy, I probably ran too fast. I think I'm gonna race on Saturday. And by race, I mean run slow haha.
