Yep. I’m nervous.

I feel very nervous about the race tomorrow. And I’m trying to put it all in perspective, because I’m just starting out and it’s not about performance really, it’s about going for it … blah blah blah … but I can’t lose these jitters. I don’t know what they’re about: pushing it for myself, I guess. Silliest thing I’ve done in a long, long while: I woke up last night at 12:45 a.m.. I had a lab at the college all day today, but instead I thought it was Race Day. So I got up, and began to get ready for the race. Yeah, I know … really bright. Luckily I realized the mistake in date AND time, and went back to bed.

Yeesh.

If it makes you feel any better, I’m the same way. I never sleep well (if at all) the night before a race – it doesn’t matter if it’s a 5K or half-marathon. However, all that nervous energy usually converts into adrenaline quite nicely.

Relax as much as you can, and have fun tomorrow!
