PaulyGram	13.1 miles	3/9	Tom King half	1:20

I've been doing strong speed and psuedo distance, but not sure where my endurance stands right now for this. I will do or die trying.

I still want to preserve enough energy to drink well on Broadway Sat. night & survive a few PWP trails on Sun. morning

2013 Goals: 2500 miles / 2:45 marathon? / sub 2 800m / 4:30 mile / sub 16 5K / sub hour 10 miles

Give a man a fire and he'll be warm the rest of the night;
Set a man afire and he'll be warm the rest of his life.

I am going to do a 5K or 10K .
I am choosing between the approximately 30 available in the Atlanta area this weekend...

I haven't run a 5K or 10K in... well, hell, 2 years?

Mainly because I know I'm slow and don't want to confront how slow. But since I decided I'm turning it around I need to know where I'm at...

If I do a 10K, goal will be within 10 minutes of PR (so under 55 min)

If I do 5K, goal will be within 5 minutes of PR. (so under 26 min)

But I am mainly talking out my behind in coming up with that.

I kind of rather would do a 10K because it gives me time to adjust my pace if I don't start off fast enough which might be an issue with no speed work and no racing at any distance in almost a year... but the 5K is within walking distance of home. Will update when I decide, but am committing now before I can talk myself into candy-assing another marathon again and pretend I would ever push myself to save my life.

5k

3/9

Tom King 5k

16:30

First race post-baby. Ran 16:11 last year when training was better and I already had a few races under my belt. 16:30 is probably a stretch, but I think I can do it if I don't go out too fast.

Other cool fact: if I break 17, it will be two decades of sub17 5k fitness. One more year and that fitness will be able to legally drink.

So..safe to assume that for now your underage fitness is drinking Boone's Farm strawberry while driving rural roads in a '75 Chevy and listening to Dylan...cool.

(Seriously, that is a pretty freakin' amazing stat!)

Cupid's Chase 5k

Glen Rock, NJ

sub-19, top 5

I've basically been base-building, so it will be cool to see what I can do. Last year I was 8th place in 20-flat.

Gonna try and use this race as a workout of some sort or another...oh, fuck it...I have no idea what I'm doing. This would be a PR, albeit a soft one. Maybe I'll taper. Maybe not. Lots of uncertainty.

This I do know: I will wear my Redman Chew hat and I will take joy in the few moments of actual racing that occur.
