dreaming about running

i had this dream where i was running this 10k race or 5k race i couldn't choose which race i wanted to run. and iwas driving the course and i saw the "non" elites running and i thought they were going to think iwas cheating because i was in the elite group but i wasn't. and all i couldn't think about is if i was going to run the 10k or 5k.
could someone please tell me what thats about.. PLEASE!

Re: dreaming about running
You are trying to tell yourself not to go out too fast in your races. For instance, going out at 5K pace for a 10K race. By doing so you are "cheating" yourself from having a good race time.

Hee Hee. Its as good a theory as any out there, without knowing anything about you...

Good luck with your running. I often dream about running, but generally it is something on the order of running in races where my legs feel like cement.

Re: dreaming about running
i asked my psychology grad student roommate and his official diagnosis is that you're "just plain nuts." sorry to break it to you.

but i'd go with what bonnie said.
