I have a 5k on Sunday, and honestly, I could care less. I just want to get it over with. I have been so diappointed with my 5k times that I really just need to move onto something else in order to get over this hump. What I am really looking forward to is a 10k I have next month. I haven't run a 10k in a long time, probably at least 9 years. I can't even find any of my past 10k times, which may actually be a blessing considering I seem to have a problem fixating on past times and then being disappointed with the reality of my slowness. So I feel like I am starting anew! I am going to go into this race with no preconceived notions or expectations and just enjoy the distance.

I have two more runs this week before my 5k race on Sunday afternoon and I am really just going to try to relax and visualize running my race with a positive attitude and a healthy, happy body. Hopefully that will help me to avoid any ugly mental hang-ups that could creep up on me on Sunday and prevent me from enjoying the race.
