I hear it'll be stormy tomorrow for the race, bit I still suspect a PB is within reach. I feel in good shape. And my 10K PB came into horizontal hail and over hills last December. Plus, tomorrow's course is point-to-point and with luck the wind will be at least partly behind us.
It might be a bit confusing to pace, with the first mile fairly downhill, so I think I will revert to the watch-free, run by feel approach that I am more confident that I have mastered thanks to last year's cross-country successes.
More importantly in terms of what I think I can achieve, warming up and racing alongside Kenenisa Bekele (in particular) will give me such a rush, that it could be one of those days where I outperform my own expectations. I am SO excited. It's days like tomorrow that I dream of as I kill myself in training each week (but which I know could easily never have happened). There could be tears on the start line...
