Countdown to Sunday.....Cap10K here I come!

The race is next Sunday.  With all my travel I had a sketchy 3 week workout period in Feb.  But I rallied a few weeks ago so I think the race should go OK.
I did my finally long run yesterday.  Ran 6.1 miles of hills and it hurt.  Actually it wasn't too too bad but the last 2 miles weren't much fun either.  I worked real hard to keep my form and I think for the most part I was able to keep it pretty well.
After the run I soaked in the very cold pool.  It was really cold to start but I got used to it.  I distracted myself by calling my long lost cousin.  Technically she knew were she was so she wasn't lost but I hadn't talked to her in about 12 years.  I saw her at a conference in Orlando.  Imagine my surprise to see my cousin coming up to the booth while I was doing booth duty.  It was surreal.  But anyway, I talked to her and that distracted the pain from the cold.
I'm looking forward to the race.  This will he the first time I've run with TBO in over a month,  Between my travel and Spring Break we have been missing each other.  I hope she has kept up with her running.
This will be a pretty quiet week.  I'm running a light run on Tuesday and stretching most of the week.  I might take a Yoga class but nothing strenuous as I wait for race day.
It should be a lot of fun.  My time will be pretty slow but I'm determined to have a good time and not worry about the rest of it.
