florida is a couple of days away and the hibiscus festival 5K is the saturday (at 7am mind you) after we arrive. as in... we arrive somewhere between 9pm and 12pm on friday night after having driven 21-24 hours fairly straight and i may or may not be inclined to sign up for the 5K. i'm leaning towards running it.
last year i did pretty well. i'd really like to see how well i could do this year. too bad i'm not at 100% with this stupid thing that's going on with my leg. to compound that i'll be coming off of having driven for 20some odd hours and not have gotten a very good night's sleep so that may effect my results too. in fact, i'm quite certain that would effect my results.
so the question becomes... is it worth doing the race?
last year i won first in my age group (5th overall) which i'm pretty proud of. i'm a year older (not so much wiser) and it might not be quite the same or quite as easy to finish that fast. it was really hard to do last year, i was uninjured, AND in prime shape.
i'm so looking forward to a break. job hunting and being unemployed is really stressful. it's humbling and awful. i will be really pleased when i am employed again. i did buy a lottery ticket yesterday for the drawing tomorrow so maybe i'll win the jackpot and not need to worry about it.
i'll keep ya posted.
