Fitness Friday: "race" goals

I'm running a little half marathon tomorrow morning, the Martian Half in Dearborn, MI. When I signed up many months ago, I was just looking at this race as a training run with bling. It has a great medal, it fit into my Bayshore training, and I've wanted to run it for a few years.


I was all prepared to talk about race goals in today's post, but then the sinus infection from Hell hit this week and I haven't been able to run since Monday. Then the weather went from predictions of sunny and 50* to this:



This IS Michigan after all. I should've expected the weather to turn to shit. 25 mph wind gusts? Rain? Cold? I thought this was supposed to be spring! Well played, Mother Nature.

My last few long runs have been stellar and had me thinking of great things for this race. But, if there's anything the past few days have shown me it's that there is so much outside of my control right now.

So, instead of setting race goals related to time, pace, or PRs, I'm setting THIS as my race goal for tomorrow:


I figure that about covers it.

Oh, and bring home a cute, little alien in the process.

See you on the flip side!
