Good job TrekDianna!

It's looking like rain for our big 10k tomorrow morning, and I'm kinda glad. My PR in the half-marathon and 5k both came in downpours. I don't really LIKE running in rain, and that's what helps. I remember late in both races speeding up so I could get to the finish and somewhere dry. Best finishing kicks ever!

This will be my 5th time doing this race and I'd really really like to knock 10 minutes of my original time. That'd mean 50:59. Not impossible; that's around an 8:10 pace and I expect to do 5ks faster than that these days. But it's more than a minute faster than my current best 10k. So we'll see. It'll be fun no mater what!

The 91 year old woman who has been the oldest competitor at this race for much of the past decade isn't running this year. Not because she's ill or injured; she's been too busy as an Alzheimer's advocate and organizer to train the way she'd like the last few months. She's promising to be back next year! Oh, and she's never been the last finisher overall. An amazing lady!
