Today was supposed to be a short run (like two miles), but the weather was so nice that I couldn't help myself and ran a little more than a 5K. I loaded the kids in the stroller and ran to the store. I am always looking for different places to run because I tend to get bored easily. Today's run took us on some of the busier thoroughfares in Fortuna, but that was OK. I felt pretty good pushing that stroller this time around.
So I have another race on Saturday. It's only a two-miler, but I am excited because it is an all-women's race. I am planning one more short run before Saturday and that's it. And my game plan for this race is a little different than for the longer races. Since it is so short (and the course is flat), I am just going to run as hard and as fast as I can. My goal time is 22 minutes. Truth be told, I'll be happy with anything under 22:30, but an even 22 is what I am striving for. I know I usually run faster in races anyway because I allow other runners to sort of pull me along, you know? So I think 22 minutes (11 minute miles) is possible.
Today's stats:
Distance: 3.11 miles
Time: 35:44
Pace: 11:29 minute.mile
