Forums >Racing>Which race?
To paraphrase an old poster: Today is the first day of the rest of your training. It doesn’t matter where you started or how far you’ve come. Today is the day. Your training didn’t start 6 weeks ago. Your training started the last time you hit the road. John “the Penguin” Bingham Life is not tried, it is merely survived if you're standing outside the fire

To have pick one or the other, I suppose I'd do the 5k, it's my favorite race anyhow.

I am sorry, I should have said they are the same day. OH and about a month later is a half marathon I am thinking about too. Right now though my energy is in the Indy HM then getting my ITBS cured!

OK, here's the deal...you're running now, I see those 8 milers scattered about your log! You have time to heal up! So, my suggestion is to find a 5K for July, 10K for Aug, run the 15K in Sept and do the half in Oct! Run the 5K and the half as races and run the 10K and 15K for fun! No go run, fill in some of those days between the 8 milers! You can totally do this! Lynn B
