race soon

This Saturday is my first cross country race of the season, and the first 5 miler since I couldn’t even finish at DeSales. So you might be able to guess that this race is somewhat daunting to me. My primary goal is to beat my time from last year (28:21), but i would really like to break 28, and be in the top 5, since we are only running our second team.

But I really don’t know what to expect this weekend – I have been training hard, running well in workouts, and hitting 70 mile weeks – but I also don’t traditionally do well in XC meets, so I am really apprehensive about it, especially since it is at Van Cortlandt, which is a very challenging course. Oh my! but I suppose Saturday holds all the answers…
