Tomorrow is race two of the four in the Lakeland Runner’s Club Watermelon Series. This series is cost-effective, local, and the perfect time to try to run a sub-30 minute 5K. I am generally comfortable running races now but this one is making my stomach flip-flop.
This is my training from 6/11 to today.
I was much to sick last week to exercise at all and it took until Wednesday for me to feel well enough to run. It makes me nervous to have taken so much time off right before a race where I want to PR.
Getting back into the gym on Wednesday felt really great. I get so antsy when I have to be sedentary especially when I felt so terrible and completely unlike myself.
I hope I am able to reach my goal in tomorrow race but all I can do is try my best.
Do you get nervous before a race?
I get really nervous about 5Ks! I’d much much rather run a longer race. So, yes I feel your pain. I usually just avoid them…so good for you for getting out there!

I’m starting to think the nerves never go away. I usually do feel better when I know my training is more solid.
