First 10K in 2 days!!!

I'm doing my first ever 10k in 2 days and I haven't ran in 3 weeks!!! And when I was running I ran over 4 miles maybe 5 times.  Any suggestions to get myself ready very quickly?  I origianlly had planned on running the whole race but now I am just hoping to finish.

Oof, you're running it tomorrow? I'd drink lots of water the rest of today and tonight, stretch well tonight and before the race, and be sure to get a dinner and breakfast with lots of carbs (pasta with marinara sauce is great for this, avoid the creamy sauces).

Just for my curiosity, why haven't you run in the last 3 weeks?

Thanks for the advice! I haven't been running because I have been so busy at work that I haven't been able to find the time or the energy! Last week I worked 104 hours so there was NO time allowed for any kind of exercise!! I'm a little nervous for tomorrow but if all fails I can at least walk it and get more out of it than I've done lately!
