Time Zone Race Woes

I’ve been so busy being heartsick that I haven’t been able to bask in the fact that I’m running my 4th half marathon this weekend!

No joke, I feel a PR coming. I feel good, strong and have a lot of emotions to burn. It’s taken everything in me to keep to my perscribed 2m and 3m tapers this week. I want to run. Run. RUN.

The only downside about the half is that it starts at 7am (yuck) IN ANOTHER TIME ZONE (double yuck).

I live like 20 miles into the central time zone (which I actually love – having tv on a hour earlier is the bomb). The race is 20 miles into the eastern time zone. So if the race starts at 7am – it’s really 6am my time. I also need to be there early for  race-day packet pick up and drive the 50 minutes there. Which all means I’ll need to set my alarm Saturday for 3:30am. yikes! I’ll file this under Runner Problems.
