 Well, my 5K is tomorrow and I really want to run but don't know if I can.  DH will jog/walk with me the whole way, even though he could probably place in his age group.  During the week a week ago, I was able to jog the whole way through the neighborhood, but at last Sat. half training, I had trouble even starting.  We did 6 miles and I jogged more on the back three but spent more time walking on the first three.  This week I've done my elliptical for 6 miles at a time twice, went to tap class, and just did almost 4 miles of hill walking.  We have to be at school at 5:00am to set up for the Flea Market, then off to the race which starts at 9:00am.  So we'll see how I do.  But I really want to run it.  Oh well, we'll see how it goes.

If you have any last minute advice about nutrition or anything.  I usually just have a banana before the race.

A banana is great for a 5k. Have fun and keep smiling during the race, even when it hurts. Good luck!
