You know that age old story about the Tortise and the Hare? The moral being that slow and steady wins the race??? Well, it turns out that most of the time the tortise just comes in last. Last night I felt like the tortise and it was a bit discouraging! I have been training to run the race that is coming up tomorrow since June. I am running it with my 25 year old brother who plays basketball once a week, but other than that hasn't even trained at all for the race.
Last night we ran around the Glenmore Reservoire and I ran the route in an hour and 26 minutes and Jason ran it in an hour and 4 minutes. Aaarrrgggg. I was so frustrated! It was really disconcerting to watch Jason kick my butt with no training whatsoever!
So, tomorrow, my goal is to just finish the race. Apparently it is really hilly and so I hope that I won't have any problems because the route I run at home is also really hilly. I just hope that I am not the LAST one to finish the race.
