Tomorrow is race day! I am so excited to actually be running a race tomorrow - AND WITH MY HUSBAND! I can hardly stand it (and he seems totally uninterested and unfazed by my excitement). It's been several months since I've competed in a race of any distance, and I've missed the discipline of a set training regimen a little.
Anyway, Jeff completed the Couch to 5K program a few months ago and has been running about 3 miles 3 times per week since. We were (finally) able to get our boys situated to BOTH make it to a great 5K nearby in the morning. YAY!
The Market Street 5K is a great out-and-back race on a trail down by the river in Columbus, MS. The course is completely flat and very shaded. The weather forecast for the morning is perfect! All that in taken into account: I am going for a 5K PR tomorrow - 27 minutes. It's ambitious, but I'm hoping my competitive nature will kick in and help me push a little harder. Last year, I ran the course in 32:05, so we'll see what I can muster up in the morning.
Will try to get some pics of the "happy couple" post race!
Glad that you are back at the races. Can't wait to hear the results. What a great morning for racing, especially in May. Wow!
ReplyDeleteI'm racing tonight in Houma, LA. Will be warm by that time, but that's ok, will "do what I can do".
