Okey doke, new goals:

Don't die in the heat, in the humidity or on the hills.
I know, I know it's Florida and we don't have hills. No, but we have bridges. And in this race we go over two bridges, twice.
Here is going up to mile 1 and coming down to mile 13:
Other side of the first bridge:
And the second bridge from way out in the water. Going out it's mile 4, coming back it's mile 9:
At least we don't have snow.

Good luck. Did it sell out in 10 minutes again?
Thanks!
Not sure. I was on a plane to NY at the time. My son registered me. He said that it was no problem
Though, I believe that they did use a new system this year.

Gonna have to retract the above. April is going to suck for racing. I have bronchitis and haven't ran in five days. Haven't really trained in eight or nine days. Going to skip my April 7th race because...oww. No aspirations at all for my race on the 14th except to be able to run and not start dying after 2 miles.
Maybe things will turn around by the end of the month.
Good luck to everyone else! ^^

That sucks JLC. I'm just getting over bronchitis myself and even though the worst is over, even a short run wipes me out. Hope you get back to racing soon.

Get better, J-L-C! At least it's illness and not injury!

+1
+1 from me too.
I'll remove the first one but leave the other two as is for now, on the off chance of a spectacular recovery.
A list of my PRs in a misguided attempt to impress people that do not care.
Thanks, everyone. Tried a 2 mile run this morning and it seemed "better" so hopefully on the up and up. Going to try a few more short runs over the weekend and see how it comes around.
I can't seem to make it through a winter without doing this to myself. Third winter in a row where I've essentially run myself into the ground and gotten sick. So obvious when I read back through my log but in the moment I'm always thinking I can eek out that little bit more. I feel a bit ridiculous.
But anyway, time to move on. Happy hunting!
Feeling the growl again
At this point I'm hoping to simply run a race in April. It will be ugly. Now to find a weekend I can run one...

4/6 - WhoDatRunner - 500 Festival Training Series 15K - Indianapolis, IN - <1:17
I think I may go ahead and give this a try even though I've been sick the past two weeks and have run very little. If I do, my goal will be just to finish the distance without walking.
C-R, are you running this one?
