Vanilla raised an excellent point in his comment.
"Once you start running in that race your competitive instincts will take over and you won't be able to slow yourself down."
How many time have I started a race with this plan ... start out slow, then pick it up ... it never works.
I need more than a broken foot and a lack of cardio endurance to slow me down. What I need is a hangover!
Here is the new plan.
I am going out right after work, this is when the drinking will begin. Then after a few hours and an obscene amount of alcohol I am going to see these guys live in concert
FOO FIGHTERS!
Where l will sing so loud I will lose my voice and my ears will ring til the easter bunny is long gone. Then after the concert I am going out on the town.
Before I go to bed, alone or maybe not! I will not drink any water, I will not take a blurry amount of tylenol and I probably won't removed my already smeared makeup.
After all that, I will run 5k. There is no way I am going to PR. No Way!
Saw the Foos last night in Ottawa. Absolutely amazing. Enjoy the show!

Oh my gosh that sounds like it will be 5k of misery instead! I did the annual donut run hungover and after my fourth krispy kreme (eaten in the middle of the race for time deducted), I almost lost it.
I never should have alerted you to the potential error of your ways. Foiled again!
Here's to hoping that your competitive instincts are more stubborn than your hangover. Or perhaps I will hire a shirtless Matty to run the 5K ahead of you, just out of sight, like a carrot on a stick.
enjoy the Foos - i'm jealous!
Love the race strategy!
What 5k are you running?
Enjoy the concert:)
i'm so jealous, you and the foo and a whole bunch of drunkeness . . . my kinda night. have a great time.
