Dread
I am not looking forward to running this 10K on Saturday--that distance is tough work at the best of times, and the odds are very high that I will run slower than I would like, and pretty definitely slower than the one I did at 8:18 pace in December.

Did you lottery for this year? I'm checking like every 5 minutes to see if I made it :)
Thanks, ladies...
Laura, I think I did put in for the lottery again this year, only really I am set on doing Philadelphia, so if I do get in, I will probably defer...
