Race day coming up very soon...

So. I'm either insane or very brave, but I just signed up as a last-minute replacement for a 5k corporate run tomorrow.
I did run yesterday, Tuesday, but that was the first time in months. Oh well. I'm hoping it will be a therapeutic experience and not add to my issues with group-excercise (read: PE horror). It's 25,000 people running and 5,000 per run, so apparently it will be crowded enough that speed will not be an issue (as in, people will slow you down). I'm counting on that!!

I went to Runner's World for some tips but even the shortest prep time was a week, and that's for seasoned runners. On the other extreme is the office-circulating sentiment 'anyone can run 5k' (the person circulating this rumous has, however, been in training since March). Sooo. I will probably survive.

Anyway. Post-vacation blues hit me this Monday but then I ordered some curtains and now I'm tolerably well. Shopping as a cure for consumer-society-induced existential angst - I am sooo.... trapped? Conformed? Brain-washed? Take your pick.
