After running the Carlsbad 5000 and doing a fairly decent job at it, I have rekindled a motivation for some shorter distance races. I finished the 5K in 20:02, almost breaking into the 19’s (which hasn’t happened since college).
That being said, my slight cockiness has driven me to sign up for the following races:
Run Through the Vineyards- May 9, 2009 Temecula, CA
San Diego Rock and Roll (Relay)- May 31, 2009 San Diego, CA
Camp Pendleton Mud Run- June 6, 2009 Oceanside, CA
Updates on performance will follow. It’s nice to know that I am running comparable times to my high school and college days, all with a few more pounds and a full-time job to add to it. But then again, damn it, Erin, what were you doing in college? Breaking out of my schnide (pronounce sh-nied) up to this point I imagine.
