Zomfg it's race weekend! Anyone else?
Glass City HM, here I come! Now that my momentary panic attack over WTF I'm going to wear has worn off (deciding to just take four different outfits with you and decide the morning of the race does wonders for decreasing panic...at least temporarily) I'm getting stoked. Who else is racing this weekend? (and GRKaters..wanna try to meet up after the race?)

How about *before* the race and you can pace me? We're going for 1:50 or better, right?
I'm packing shorts/capris, short sleeve/long sleeve/tank, and an outer layer and will make a game-time decision too.

I'm doing an 8 mile trail race tomorrow, so excited!
Good luck everyone!
How about we pace each other?
'Cause I'm not carrying a watch. (aka I misplaced my 305 before thanksgiving and can't find the damn thing) 
What time are you guys heading over to the race that morning? I think my group was talking about meeting at 545am and departing at 6am. Did you know the hotel's like 3 miles from the start? We had no clue 'til earlier this week...so someone's probably going to be taking their car.
Um, no. I had no idea.
We're renting a van and picking up my parents near Detroit, so we'll only have one vehicle for the five of us (including DS). So we'll have to leave the van for my dad to bring DS as my mom, DH, and I are running. Hmm...
Which hotel are you at? We're at the host.

I'm running the Parkway Classic 10 miler this weekend with DH. But he's at a much slower pace than me so I won't be setting a true PR even though it's my first 10 miler.
The weather looks terrible though! Rainy and cold. I'm not too happy about that!

So am I, which should make it much easier to find each other. Yeah the website says the hotel is 7 minutes from the race start...but I think they mean 7 minute drive :$ The distance might be closer to 2.5 miles but either way not as close as we all thought.
No way, me too! ?Well I'm supposed to be, if it's pouring I haven't decided if I want to put myself through torture or not.?
Good Luck!
DH and I are signed up to do a 5K that his office is putting on to benefit cancer tomorrow. I've got my 20 miler on Sunday so I'll be taking it easy.

Me! Im doing my very 1st race ever!! "Just" a 5k, which may not seem like much to many. Im already panicking!! Esp b/c I had planned on running the race route last night to practice, just b/c I like to run the same routes over & over again, seems to help my focus, but it was raining cats & dogs last night & was freezing so there was no way in he!l I was going out there!
Guhhhh SO nervous already!!!
I wish! I'm so ready for this marathon.
Good luck to everyone this weekend! :::throws confetti:::

There's no such thing as "just a 5k!" First races are a big deal. Good luck!!
Thank you! I know this, but it seems like such a small accomplishment compared to all of you doing huge marathons!!

Good luck! It's normal to be freaking out, it's okay, but you'll do great! Let us know how it goes.
<a href="http://www.thenest.com/?utm_source=ticker&utm_medium=HTML&utm_campaign=tickers" title="Home D10k race tomorrow. It's a really small one. Mostly families doing the 5k walk/run. I think there's a good chance I might really come in last -- and I'm perfectly ok with that.
Adding on 2 miles before the race for 8 total. Last long run before the 1/2 next weekend.

I'm racing tomorrow! I'm doing a 5 mile run with DH. I'm getting super nervous for it! I've only done 5k's before I know I can do it, I've done the distance on training runs. But this is a hilly course and I hate hills! On a good side the weather is going to be perfect, slightly cloudy 0 chance for rain!
Good luck to everyone else who is racing!
