Tomorrow I am running the Statue to Statue 15K. All this time I have been thinking about how 9.3 miles isn't all that big of a deal since I've done the half marathon and also had a speedy pace for 5.5 miles at the duathlon. Figured I could crank out 9.3 at an 8 to 8:15 pace. I haven't done a long run in a while, though. So I'm probably stupid for attempting this.

I knew this race would be hilly, but I just received an email from a runner who is faster than I am. She advises to WALK up the steep hills during this race. OH, LORD. What have I gotten myself into???

And also the rumor is that this race feels harder than a half-marathon.

I am totally nuts.

It'll be good training, though, if I live through it.
