The 30th Annual OSF Heritage Run is this Sunday and whether this is your first or 51st road race, there are things that we all think about while running.

I've been running for a few years now and this Sunday will be the third time I have ran The Heritage Run.

It's a fun run, no doubt and running along the Rock River on a beautiful day in Rockford is pretty awesome.

The 10K is one of three different races on Sunday. There is also a 2-mile race and a kid's fun run. I run in the 10K and these are the 10 thoughts every runner has during a 10K.

  1. 6.2 miles? No problem. That's just 2 5K's. I'm good.
  2. Running is fun!
  3. I should've worn different shorts.
  4. How did this song end up in my 10K mix?
  5. Half way? I'm only half way done?
  6. What if I get separated and end up lost?
  7. Is Game of Thrones on tonight? What day is it?
  8. These ear buds are the worst.
  9. I probably shouldn't have had that whole cake for dinner last night.
  10. That wasn't too bad. Pretty happy with my time. I really want to run the race again.
