Fidgety

I had forgotten how weird it feels to taper.  I get all fidgety and have a hard time sitting still.  Tomorrow is race day.  Today I was scheduled to run a comfortable 20 minutes.  However, since I was feeling restless I decided to push myself pretty hard to see what I could do.  I managed 2.4 miles with 8:16 splits.  Not too bad.  It's hard to say if I could have done better.  I certainly wasn't sprinting and I was trying to avoid hurting myself since I do have to run 10 miles tomorrow but I am very curious if this 8-minute mile thing on the 10th might actually happen.  I don't know.  I think it will be close.  When you're running in a huge crowd of people you tend to run faster and there's the whole adrenaline thing, too.  All I can say is we'll see.  For now I need to just focus on tomorrow.  The forecast is for rain.  Yuck.
