I had no idea what I was in for.Before last week, the most I had run consecutively was six miles, but I decided it was time to do something to take advantage of my athletic prime and I signed up for the Charlottesville 10-Miler, which was held Saturday morning with nearly 1900 participants.
I spent the entire week leading up to the race peppering my roommate with questions: could I go out Thursday night, how much do I run on Friday, what do I eat on Friday, when do I go to bed Friday night, what do I eat Saturday morning, what do I wear for the race and what do I do with this black thing that apparently goes in my shoe somehow?
