So I’m running a 5K tomorrow. This is the forecast…
Are you sweating already!? Ooftah!
I haven’t run over 2 miles in quite a while…and haven’t been running very regularly either. So this is going to be a challenge. I have no doubt I can finish. I ran 2 miles last week at a good pace, I’m sure I can run another extra mile…but the heat will be a killer!
I think it’ll be good for me to get out there and participate in a race. I’m needing the motivation. I always love an organized race.
I hope that I can run it at least as fast as I did last year, which was 37:26. But with the heat, I don’t know. That’s about my average pace though. It really depends on the day, but I often run miles around the 11:00+ range lately.
This year will be the 3rd time I’ve participated in this race, and also marks the 3rd anniversary of my very first 5K. The first time, I ran it in 42:21. The fact that I am still at it should encourage me to keep going.
Do you have a race planned for the 4th of July? Good luck!!
