No run today, giving my tired legs a rest before the 10K tomorrow.  Ate Cafe Rio yesterday for lunch and a shake last night........tummy not feeling so good.   

I feel a lot better going into tomorrow's race than I did the 5K.  I know what to expect.  I am dreading the monotomy of the course though.  There is not much out there to look at.  My PR in a 10K is 52:09 and that was at the Spectrum 10k last year.  That course is mostly down hill and fairly easy.  The SLCTC course is flat as a pancake.  Which is okay, but I like hills.  You work hard getting up them and then you get to go down :)  I am going to say:  Gold - sub 53:00, Silver - sub 54:00 and Bronze - completion.  I need to be more aggressive in my goals but this is a big "mental" test for me so we will see how it goes. 

 Good Luck to everyone running tomorrow!!

Happy Running!

Good luck tomorrow Jody! I'm looking forward to meeting you! I wish we knew of a place before the race to have the bloggers go for a quick hello! Maybe I should make a fastrunningblog poster for everyone to gravitate to. Maybe I'll try to do that.

Good LUck tomorrow! You are going to tear it up out there and I wouldnt be suprised if you get a SUPER GOLD and beat your PR!!!!!

I know you'll do great tomorrow! I think that you will definatly beat your 10k PR even if the coarse isn't as easy. You have been working really hard lately and it's going to show tomorrow!

Kim - That is a great idea! It was difficult to identify people last time.

All - Thanks for the good luck wishes!!

You will definitely win the GOLD - no doubt about it. Remember you have had practice at that growing up!! (olympics)

Anyway, thanks for the chat last night - you're the best!
