Running into June - May 30-June 5

Um, Colby... you ARE a runner.

Good deal on getting the time corrected.

I got another 3 mile run in this morning. The legs are still sore but I did it. My times are miserably slow--11:50 average for 3 miles. I'm running a 5K tomorrow night and am almost too embarassed at my time to even run. I might chicken out at the last minute and decide to be a spectator.

Bike Chick, we are in the same boat! I am hoping seeing people run by me might spur me on to run faster, but we shall see. It's going to be horribly humid and warm, too.
I am the least competitive person around... I just want to finish this little 5K without fainting in front of all of the doctors who will be there, since it's a fund raiser for the cancer wing of the local hospital.
Oh yeah, and Bill Rodgers is running in this race, too, as he is a cancer survivor.

Don't even thinking about bailing. No matter what your pace is, you are taking the plunge by stepping up to that starting line. Go and do your race and enjoy yourself. There will always be someone faster and always be someone slower. I read a quote last year and it went something like this:

You can't have a great race day unless you show up to race.....GO FOR IT!!!

Thanks, guys! Ok, you have me pumped and ready to run. I'll let you know how fast (slow) my time is. It's a pretty cool race at a local church. They started it as a fund raiser years ago and all the church members bake cookies for the runners. It's kind of a tradition around here and has a cute name "The Grace Race."

A huge .8 of a mile for me this morning. It was such a pretty morning for a run though. I was out just before sunrise and could see Mt Diablo with some clouds circling it at about 2,000 feet.

I'll try again on Tuesday.

Good luck, Kacie!

And Colby - you so ARE a runner! 8:50 for a HM is very respectable. Hell, I'd be happy to do 8:50 for a 5K!

Today is a much needed rest day for me. I'm exhausted and I've got my second sprint tri tomorrow (first OWS!). I hope I'm recovered by tomorrow morning...

[Crankin]

I just talked to my friend, who is in charge of the 5K I am doing tomorrow. I promised her I would show up.
Did some recovery yoga this morning and erred on the side of caution and did not ride today. My quads are a bit sore, not from running yesterday, but from riding my Jamis into town for an errand. Riding that bike always makes me feel like I have worked hard as I don't ride it often and it is twice the weight of my road bike.
I don't know why I am so nervous about doing this 5K. Just not sure of the etiquette involved, etc.
