A 10K

Source
We signed up and we may be crazy.  Tomorrow morning we'll be taking a bus to the city of Santiago (home of yaroa!) to participate in a 10K with thousands of other runners.  Why should this make us crazy?  Because it means we are waking up at 4:45 AM on a Sunday morning - our only day to sleep in - only to run 6.1 miles in a very hilly and disgustingly hot city!  I've been feeling low on energy today but I believe that the scenery of a new place and the race day adrenaline will be enough to get me past the finish line.  Plus, since this distance fits perfectly in our 15K training, it should be a breeze, right?...  Right.

Now its down to the last minute decisions:
Shorts or running pants?
Breakfast or something light?
To set a time goal or to run freely?

Thoughts?  Wish me luck!
