Took it reallllly easy (started out around 9:20 pace). Felt decent for the first 4 miles, no pain, feet weren't landing hard. Last 2 actually felt good. Looked down at my watch and I had sped up to 8:45 without knowing it. Wasn't a challenge like the last few runs.

I'm still going to count the race this weekend as a good workout, not push too hard, and try to enjoy it. I am excited to go to Jacksonville to visit Becky (yay!!!!!), eat cup cakes, and celebrate my last couple days of freedom before comps next week. I think this is the biggest race I have ever run in, should be a good time.

Have fun this weekend! Comps are the worst part - as soon as they are over the rest is smooth sailing (though it sometimes won't feel like it I have to admit).

I threated (to all my friends) to wear a Denny's waitress uniform to my oral exams - and start off with something like, "just in case the statistics thing doesn't work out".

Hahaha. Thanks, I hope they go well! And regardless of how it goes, they will be OVER so that is exciting! The only bad part is I have to wait 3 weeks until I defend my answers at oral comps, but at least I'll have more time to prepare.
