        Me!!! It wasn't in the original plan, but I found out yesterday that there is a benefit for the local homeless support program that will have a 5K race in a park nearby to my apartment so I just signed up!!! And with encouragement from you guys here, I'm gonna race it and go for a PR!

        PRs:   5K- 28:16 (5/5/13)      10K- 1:00:13 (10/27/13)    4M- 41:43 (9/7/13)   15K- 1:34:25  (8/17/13)    10M- 1:56:30 (4/6/14)     HM- 2:20:16 (4/13/14)     Full- 5:55:33 (11/1/15)

              Just B.S.


                Nope, full on taper mode right now.  Volunteering at a 5k/10k race for our good friends

                who are the RD''s

                 

                We always run a half or full marathon on Mother's Day (this year the full on  May 12th) and

                always volunteer the week before at our friends race. It's fun being at a race in taper mode but

                not running. Get's me all jazzed up for the marathon.


                Mostly harmless

                  I'm running a 5K at work Friday morning and then the Frederick Running Festival HM on Sunday.  I will attempt to run the 5K at HM pace but I might get carried away.

                    Sloooow.

                      Supposed to be a 5K on Sunday, rescheduled cemetery race. Toying with the idea of DNSing due to knee soreness and projected 80 degree temps.

                        Last time this question came up u said yes but didn't race. Let's try this again. Yes, HM.

                            Racing this weekend?  Does a bear shi....ummm...never mind....

                             

                            I am doing this one on Saturday morning..my 28th event of 2013.....the PODER 5K.  PODER stands for:

                             

                            Parks Obesity Diabetes Education Research” (PODER)

                             

                            There is also a 10K.  The walk/run will start at Lanier High School and continue on an educational and historic journey through downtown San Antonio. Our Mayor, Julian Castro - who is a runner himself - will be the Grand Marshal.
