I'm so excited! And NERVOUS!

[materialsgirl]

I know the runners here will appreciate my enthusiasm. I just registered for a 5k race that is THIS SATURDAY. Okay, no big deal, right? I've run a marathon, for goodness sake! A little ol' 5k should be nothing. But this is my first race since dealing with my awful sciatica / piriformis syndrome problems that started last September. I quite literally haven't run in 6 months. Except for one time in January. I miss running, I miss Cardio Coach, I miss races... and I just can't stand it anymore! So I'm running a 5k this weekend. I certainly won't be "racing" (as if I have ever "raced" - I'm the slowest runner ever!), and I won't be setting any PRs... but if I can cross that finish line (WHEN I cross that finish line), I will be SO HAPPY!

If y'all could send me all your happy running vibes and anti-sciatica thoughts on Saturday, I would be forever grateful!

Good luck Emily. I'm sure you'll do just fine.

Go Emily Go!

I find that the more nervous I am pre-race, the better I do!}(

Ooh, you can have my running vibes!! I was supposed to run a half marathon this weekend, but my running buddy has achilles tendonitis, so you can have my running strength! Sorry you've been dealing w/ sciatica/ piriformis. Hope you have a great run, and make sure to post an update! ;-)

I think you have exactly the right attitude for someone who's been on a hiatus from running. Run it just to finish, have fun, and stay injury-free! We'll be cheering you on. :7
