I'm really excited about this race for many reasons:
1.
It's the first official race of the new race season! I've got lots of races planned for the rest of the year. Check out my Upcoming Races page for more info.
2.
It's the first 5K race during my half training, so I am really curious as to how much faster I can run 3.1 miles after conditioning myself to run longer. I hope to make this a 2012 PR (my all time 5K PR is 27:49 – back in 2009 – I don't think I can ever beat that) – so in order to do that I have to run faster than a 29:06. I really hope I can. I would like to see a "28" on the race clock when I finish! I'm thinking I will be able to do it because the last time I did a sub-29 5K was in 2009... RIGHT AFTER I trained my body for running 10Ks (ableit not my fastest 10Ks - I think I can actually run faster 10Ks now). So I am confident that the half training will not fail me! :)
3.
And the last reason... I'll be wearing a costume!! Not anything really elaborate, but hopefully I'll stand out enough to get some good photos taken of my crazy running outfit. ;) It's a patriotic theme, so I'll be donning the red, white and blue!
Race report coming soon!

ReplyDeleteSorry about that! I know with google reader/blogger you can get updates on the blogs you follow (even the ones that are not blogspot blogs)... Do you use that? I follow all my blogs that way. I am trying to update every few weeks or every week, especially as the RnR gets closer! :)

ReplyDeleteHi Jacy, I found your blog through the Foodie Pen Pals list (I love reading blogs and was excited to see that long long list of inspiration) and, as I was reading I saw the Pooler 5K. Well, I may be a NYer now but I am Effingham County born and raised. So I am cheering for you from up North and enjoying reading about your adventures.
