kicking off the season

Tomorrow is my first race of the season, and my first race since Brewhouse tri last August!  (I did run a 3k the first week of January, but it was a random race and I was out of shape.  Surprisingly, didn't run too bad.)  I have no idea what to expect for the race.  My cycling seems to be really strong right now compared to last year, but after looking through my running log, I have done less than 5 runs since the first week of August at a pace under 6 min per mile which is not even fast!  And the last was the 3k 5 months ago...My training was similar last year so I'm hoping to feel pretty good, but I have no intention on taking it out with the leaders.  Its not my place at this point and I don't want to aggravate my heel.  I have even been asking myself if I can still be considered a "runner".  Since college, I have yet to put in consistent running and have only touched a track once in the last two years.  I think I have taken the saying "focus on your weakness" to an extreme by blowing off the run completely to focus on cycling.  But I have faith that my legs will come around like they did last summer but it may take a few weeks to remember what a 5:15 mile feels like...

Better get to bed, 5 am wake up will not be fun.
