Not getting caught this time...
I'm not getting caught this time. I registered for my ten mile race, I have the receipt, I am ready to go. I have heard there is a decent sized hill on the course and it can get quite windy. So I'm just going to get out there and give it my best shot and see what the day sends my way. Training has been going well. I have been working on some pace type running in the past few weeks and I have to say that my concept of pacing on the road (as opposed to the track) really stinks. I seem to have two speeds: slow-warm-up-pace and race-pace. So I am working at trying to find the pace that is closer to a solid 'intensive aerobic' effort. I think I need to learn to let go of worrying about the pace. By that I mean that I have to realize it is OK to miss in training. I think I tend to run the kilometers too fast because I know that the prescribed pace is faster than an easy jaunt and so I think it should be HARD. So I pick up the pace too much in fear of wasting a kilometer going too slow. I need to stop looking at a 'miss' as a waste and see it as a point of comparison instead. How zen.
The Saturday of that weekend a co-worker and I are going to check out the the Body Worlds exhibit at the Science Centre. It is a display of human bodies that have been plastinated. It should be really interesting. I have heard that many places that have run this exhibit have had to keep their doors open 24 hours near the end of the run in order to accommodate the number of visitors trying to see the show. I haven't been to the Science Centre since I was a kid, so I'm looking forward to visiting again.
I picked up the knitting again this weekend. Spent the weekend working some more on the shrug. I am in the last 25 or so rows I think. I picked up the poncho again this morning, so hopefully I will make some progress on that this week. I'm on the last ball of yarn required for the project. Then I just have to figure out how to put it together. Since the gauge is so loose I am worried that the seam will look 'stretched'.
