Tomorrow I'll be setting a personal best at the Big Dog 5K. How do I know this is going to happen? Because I've never run a 5K before so there's really nothing to beat. Whatever I get will be what I get and it will be my PB. I'm not concerned about my time because, after all, I'm not training for a 5K. I'm training for a marathon. But every once in a while it is good to tap into that inner racer, the competitive drive within all of us.
And I'm curious to see how this will affect my Google search results. Like anyone with excessive time on their hands, I'm prone to wasting many a hot minute searching for myself on the Internet. Note: that is not meant to sound philosophical. No. I just like to see the order in which links to my work come up and check in on my newest appearances in other blogs and websites. You're right, I'm truly as arrogant as that sounds. But it's funny because one website that always comes up is titled Paramus 5K Run. It contains the score results from a race in October 2002. And, sure enough, someone with my name competed in that race and clocked in at 45:58. The other Julie was 18 at the time. I was 15, a sophomore in high school.
With any luck, I can set a personal best for the both of us and maybe the results will make it to the Internet. I guess we'll find out, uh, tomorrow.
