Fruit Salad and a Booty Kicking Workout

In today's fruit salad, I had red grapes, banana, strawberries and honeydew. I love this combination. It includes all my favorite fruit (besides watermelon). What's in your ideal fruit salad? I had a fast 5k and a 60 minute spin class on the schedule today.I ran my 5k in 29:26. My (unofficial) PR is 29:23. I know I can run faster than 29 minutes. That's my next goal. In my 60 minute spin class, my booty was complaining (not gas) because I am still sore from Saturdays uber workout. I worked through the pain. My saying is "pain is worth it!". It really helps when I say this over and over. It gets my through the difficult times. I'm so glad that I'm back in the spin class. I took last week off because, on Monday, I felt like running my long run and the rest of the week, my big toe was healing. The toe is feeling so much better. I feel like I can run my 12 miles tomorrow. Now, I am not smelly or salty (thank you to my shower), and am just trying to prep myself for my 12 miler tomorrow. I'm pretty nervous. I think it's just because everything is getting so close. On the 16th, I have planned to go run 13 miles on the bike trail. That's only 2 weeks away. Once that is completed, I only have 2 wees until the race. Pretty nerve racking to me.
Every minute of every day, I have this race on my mind. I hope I can make it through 20 more days of work without getting fired, for being too distracted. Is this normal, or am I crazy?
