Prepping

So, I am doing a 5K on Thursday, July 4th, at 6:45 in the morning and I have been worried about it some. Only because I know the pressure I put on myself to keep up. I really need to not jump off the start and take off because then I'll be asking for hurting legs and I don't want that--again! 

My PIC, partner in crime, Jen P. and I decided to hit the route tonight and just walk it. No pressures for time, just simply walk it. We did a really good job for ourselves. She struggled some due to walking it on only 3 hours of sleep and having just wrestled a pig, yes, wrestled a pig, at our county fair last night. 

Time wise we did great but we had gotten so overheated at the end that I kept pace to simply get home because had I slowed down I thought I'd have hit the pavement. I felt badly for walking ahead a little bit, but I was feeling kinda sick. She ended up going home feeling the same way. We didn't do anything different or anything wrong--it was just HOT! I honestly can say, this is the first time I've ever poured with sweat like that. I could even feel I running down my back. GROSS! That in itself made me queasy. Check out my forehead--

GROSS! These pics! I'm so irritated with this blog because pictures turn to crap when you upload them! Grrrrr! 

Anyways! So PIC headed home and we both downed powerade but still felt ill. Even at almost 11, as I blog, I'm still not up to par. I'm going to finish this cup of ice water and then refuel with powerade in the morning for the electrolytes. Tomorrow I'm taking off from working out. I need to break for Thursdays early walk. Check this out too, my BFF in the entire world is running it and one of my amazingly awesome friends that I'm REALLY close with as well, her and her family are running also! So! Between myself, my PIC, and the other two women alone, this race has a lot of awesomeness in it! Just sayin'! 

I am pretty sure that Bayleigh and my mom are doing it too! Very cool!
