Race #4, Two Weeks & Counting

Counting down to race #4 of the 2011 season, the inaugural running of the Frontier Run N' Fun 10K! This will be my first 10K of the season and I'm super excited! From the brochure it looks like it's going to be one huge party start to finish, sounds fun to me!

My training the last few weeks has gone very well, I just need to be more focused on my diet. Due to this being the inaugural running I have no place goals but my goal times are 48:11 overall with 7:45 miles.

Runners on Parade 5K Goals

This Saturday I'll be running the Runners on Parade 5K. It follows the parade route for the Three Rivers Festival. I ran this race last year and it was amazing! It's the largest 5K in Fort Wayne, and because you run it right before the parade starts, you have thousands of people lining the street cheering you on!

This year I'm running it with my nephew, Garrett! He's nine, and this is only his second race, but I'm thrilled to have him with me!

So, here are my race goals.

Overall time: 20:05
Race Pace: 6:27
Overall Place: Top 145
Age Group: Top 10

Run 4 Jesus 5K goals

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!

5 Days and Counting

Today's workout: 2 miles @ 8:00 pace.

Five days left until my first race of 2010! I'm not planning on any big PR, but it will be nice to have a little competition. The race is called the Nutri-Run, and there are 5 mile and 20K options. I'm definitely only doing the 5 mile. My goal is to be within the top 30. Last year there was around 140 total runners in the 5 mile, so that's not to bad I guess.

Praise the Lord and run on!
