The Eve of my 1500m Debut!

Well, tomorrow is the big day. I've been working towards this goal since August of last year and it's finally here. As I mentioned in my goal recap, I had to postpone my debut a month due to a slight Achilles injury, but I'm happy to report that I've put that behind me now.

I'll be racing at the New Balance 1500m night held in conjunction with the Go The Distance 8km road race. The races kick off at 7:45 and I imagine I'll be running close to 8PM in the 2nd section. I'm excited for the race, it will be a riot to feel the energy, the nerves, the ups and the downs. It's crazy to think how times change...a few years ago I'd be pre-drinking for a night out at the club with my friends, but not tonight. Tonight I fight a battle with no one but myself.

If you'd like to come watch there will be well over 200 runners competing in the 1500m that night, and the fun goes down at TD Waterhouse Stadium on the UWO campus. Parking is absolutely free!
