I have only hit the pavement twice so far in October. That's not exactly the type of ramp up I usually have prior to a 10k race. Keeping me from getting out the door has been a mixture of recovering from the Capital City Challenge, laziness, and volleyball. I tweaked something near my right shin in the last volleyball game of the season; that scared me enough to only run once last week (10/2). I ran well enough and proved to myself it was not a serious injury. More concerning is that I have been getting winded by running five kilometers. My endurance is not where it should be for a 10k. But it will have to make due because the Atlantic City 10k is this weekend.
The race itself is a straight stretch along the Atlantic City Boardwalk. It starts at the intersection of the Boardwalk and Michigan Ave. which is in front of Bally's Casino (no gambling before a race).
I hope the weather looks better on Saturday. |
