I am getting very nervous about the Capitol 10K this weekend. Why did I sign up for that? I am not a runner. I am so dreading this. The first thing that got me nervous is the waiver I had to sign. It talks about runners who die during the race having no legal recourse. Die? What did I get myself into? Then I took a look at the elevation map: lots of hills. Ugh. I hate hills.
I actually waited until the last possible moment to sign up for the race perhaps hoping that something very important might come up and I wouldn't be able to go through with it, but no such luck. I am on for Sunday at 9 a.m. Deep breath. What if I am the last one to cross the finish line???? No. That won't happen. What if I drink too much water and I get a swollen brain???? What if I have a heart attack in the middle of the thing or an aneurysm???
Ok, back to reality. This ain't no marathon. It's a six mile race. Who dies in a six mile race? Right? I will be fine. I will be fine. I will be fine. I will not be the last person to cross the finish line. I will not let my brain swell from all the water I'm going to drink. Oh, no...what if I have to go potty from all the water I might drink??? Are there porta-potties along the route??? Aaargh. Too many scenarios I have not thought about and probably shouldn't...
TTYL.
