My Nerves

so tomorrow is the caesar rodney half marathon and I am a bit nervous about it. my nervousness stems from me actually trying to push my self in this race. not that I am generally a slacker when it comes to racing, but I don't know if I have ever actually pushed myself as hard as I can go. how do I know this? because I have never crashed in a race and normally i still have a ton of energy at the end... with the exception of the ugly mudder but that was just a strange race to begin with. the only other half marathon I have run i did in 1:56 and my goal is to break 1:40. that is going to be quite a stretch because I think I will have to average just over 7:30s. why does this make me nervous? because I am a freak about failing at anything... so we will see how it goes.

tonight i went to some italian restaurant in south philly and had a chicken parmigiana that was about the size of my head, literally. probably wasn't the best pre-race meal, but it was awesome. anywho... it is past 9:30... way past my bed time...
