2 or 3

This one will be short. I woke up earlier than I had hoped and again I wrangled with the idea of running this evening instead of the morning.

5 minutes later, legs pumping my biggest choice was whether to do 2 or 3 miles. My schedule said 3 but I was worried about needing to conserve energy. Now for those of you active people a 3.1 race seems small and not really a race where I need to conserve energy before running it but you have to understand I am still fat in my mind.

On the way home from doggie barfy dinner the other night Lyndsey reminded me that last year when i walked this race I actually practiced, anxious that I wouldn't be able to do it very well or quickly. So for me, the perspective is lost on me.

I did the 3.1 this morning as fast as I felt I was able to not burn out at the end. It took a little over 26 minutes which is decent for me. Should I have done less? I dunno know but I am glad I did the three, it just feels good to know I didn't sell myself short.
