Just a quick post to say I’m racing a 5k tomorrow. There is money for overall male and female 3 deep, plus nalgene bottles to all finishers.
Today it’s about 70 degrees and sunny. I was sweating just playing with Currie on the playground. Tomorrow it’s supposed to be a high of 49 and rain. Could be worse…
Today I ran 4 miles as my pre-race run. It was almost 60 degrees at the time, but there was a cool breeze so I wore a short sleeve Oiselle tee, roga shorts, and my arm warmers slouchy style. I was the perfect temperature!
After the race, my plan is to do another 3 miles of speedwork. Maybe it will be a tempo, maybe it will be a fartlek. Whatever my body and brain tell me they want to do, I’ll do! Should be a good, hard, soggy day of running!
Good luck to everyone racing this weekend! I’m sending fast, long distance vibes to all my marathon friends this weekend!
I love that your plan is to follow up a *race* with speedwork. When I grow up, I wanna be you…
Good luck with the 5k!!
Thanks!
Good luck! Looking forward to reading about how it goes! I have a 5K too but I’m sure it will be run a few minutes slower than yours…
Good luck with your 5k too!
Good luck on your 5k! I ran a 5k race tonight, and it rained the whole time and was about 45 degrees. Yesterday was warm and sunny. Crazy how that happens!
I’m sure you’ll win some of that money!
Thanks Katie! I hope to bring home some cash.
If you’re headed to Pumpkins in the Park maybe I’ll see you there!
Oh darn, Karen. I am doing Scare Away Brain Cancer. I almost did pumpkins in the park!
