It's the day before a 10K, the Devil's Mountain Run in Danville, CA. It's a fairly flat course where I set a PR two years ago, twice improved on since then (36:34 is my current PR). I'm hoping to break 37 minutes as I've been recovering from plantar fasciitis and had to take three weeks off following a marathon in early March. Since then I ran a half marathon three minutes slower than my PR, and then resumed normal training, which has gone well. I feel very good and pretty fit. If this race were in the midst of a few others I'd be more optimistic, but having missed three races this year because of illness or injury and having done one race in February, March and April, I don't have my normal confidence in terms of predicting my finish.
Being the day before a race, I'm cutting back all exercise. No running, pushups or swimming. This afternoon I took my daughter Maylee to the pool, and just carried her around in the water while she swam. Now that you know one person in the household, the other person is my wife Mandy. You'll get to know more about Mandy and Maylee later.
