Friday Five

1. 18 on deck tomorrow. For whatever reason, I am NOT freaking the hell out. This is so unlike me!

2. I am at a very weird place mentally in my training. I am so so pessimistic. I feel like some injury is going to take me out at ANY SECOND. I know I'm 5 weeks out, but this is not something I've experienced before, and I don't really get it. Even after my knee went all wonky last fall, I always knew I'd finish. Maybe it's because I want to WAY MORE than *just finish* this time, or maybe it's because of number 3.

3. Left shin. Very achy. Very disconcerting. I think that tomorrow will either give me a boost of confidence or be horrible. I can't decide which. The good news is that the weird feeling GOES AWAY while I'm running.

4. I spent all my birthday money yesterday. I am going to run cute this summer.

5. FINISH LINE PHOTO OF BLISSFUL JOY.

That smile was there the whole dang day, I swear!

    Good luck tomorrow on your 18 miler! Pay attention to your actual pain, of course--but you're not injured, have a positive attitude, you rock!!

    You're gonna rock your 18! Just take it one mile at a time with your shin. It's definitely good that your aches go away while running, probably just tight muscles then :) you're gonna rock it!

    Go slay that 18 then do some cold-hot-cold on the shin.
    I'll be doing the. Run for the fields 5k tomorrow. I'm using it to set my training paces.
    Cannot believe how fast Grandmas is sneaking up!
