Run for Jesus 5K

The forecast Friday night looked disappointing. Thunderstorms all day, along with 15mph wind. I awake Saturday morning to some lite sprinkles, and a little bit of wind. I pick up my nephew, then my friend Kent. I pray that the rain holds off. We arrive at the race and I'm pleasantly surprised at the quality of the course. Very nice!

Fast forward to the race. It's about 50 degrees, very little wind, and no rain! Perfect race weather!


All three of us broke our goals! I ran a 20:54, and placed 4/93. My nephew ran a 28:49 and placed 32/93. Kent ran a 34:11 and placed 42/93.

I also got some swag! I got a Christian CD for 1st in my age group, and I won another CD as a door prize!

Overall, it was a great race! I loved the opportunity to spend some quality time with family and friends!

Today's workout: 6 miles @ 8:05 pace

One week until the Run for Jesus 5K! I haven't ran a 5K in a while, so it's difficult to come up with accurate goals, but I'm going to give it my best guess.

Overall time goal: 21:38
Mile Pace goal: 6:47
Place goal: ??? (No prior results to refer to)

Praise the Lord and run on!

Todays workout: 2 miles easy

My next race is going to be on April 24th, and I'm really excited! Not about the race though, but because I am going to be joined by a friend who will be running his 1st race ever (that I know of)! My friend Kent Scantlin who has been off and on running for a while now will run the Run for Jesus 5K with me! A race is so much better when you have friends by your side.

Praise the Lord and run on!
