      and

       

      Ntown Kevin, 6/14, Newtown Rooster Run, 5K, goal depends on 2 weeks before, but will for now say PR

       

      Both courses have one significant hill, but I really like the first course and have run well there, and the second one I can run to and really have no excuse not to run.

        I have no idea what the course is like, so that could turn out to be overly ambitious.

            flat & fast

            Be excellent to PR, and win AG, and beat David my perennial competitor in the series.

            It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

              mgerwn, Sprint For Monroe, 5K, <27:00, June 1st.

               

              Trying again from my race last week, to get under this.  The Kid won't be with me this time so I won't get pulled out of racing this time.

              Ntown, see you there.

                Cecil59,   6/7,   Festival of Miles,   1 mile race on a track.   Goal = <5:40

                 

                It's a race, but if it goes like last year, I'll be running it all alone as a time-trial in my age group. Or I could run with the Elites and race for DFL. I ran 5:30 last year, which age grades to 82.4%. I "only" need to run 5:33 to get the same 82.4% score, but I'm feeling slower than that, so I'm going to stick with the sandbagging approach and go for <5:40.

                    That is badass bhearn, especially considering what you've gone through to get there .... best of luck!

                     

                    Mark me down for a 1500 on the track, 6/28, goal of 5:05.  If I'm lucky and training goes well I might revise the goal down ...

                     

                    There's also a USATF Master's track meet on the 14th of June but I'm not sure if, or what event even, I'll run.  If I run it'lll be either the 800 or 1500 or maybe both.  Will decide later.

                        Run for the Hills 30K, 6/1

                        Goal: 2:40 (very hilly)

                         

                        MTA I did the math... that's 8:35 pace. On those trails/hills, I can't see that happening. OK, I'll go with the ultrasignup prediction, 2:49 (9:04 pace).

                        Goal: < 4:53 (last year's time)

                        May be tough.

                          16:47 and 2OA for some prize money. Plus got to see mgerwn bring it home nicely. Definitely a solid morning, and I can go faster I'm sure.

                            Great course and a great day. Felt pretty good at the finish, so I probably could have pushed a little harder. Got to meet Hasher Rick and share a few beers. Had a great time.
