Okay. So I'm racing in the morning, and I'm sad to say I'm already up. Somebody's hot tub was on fire this morning. :noway:

Anyway, I figured I'd start the thread.

Race for me today. If I get out of work early, I'm going to make the drive for the 5 miler. If I don't get out of work in time, then I'm doing the 10k, which is only a few miles away. I'll check back in after a race and a NAP!

    Firegirl: Good luck with you race.

    No run today, but forgot to post y'day. Ran 5k and improved my time by 1min+. No where near under 30 but I feel good anyway.

    Happy Thanksgiving (canadian) weekend to all

    WOOHOO!!

    Good luck firegirl! I can't wait to hear about it!!

    I am running an easy 2 miles with my bf today, it's our short day. He did the 5 miles in 1:05 yesterday, 3 minutes faster than I did. We attribute that partly to the fact that he's a foot taller than me hehe :) I'm excited, it looks like a beautiful day!

    I ran 2 miles this morning, getting back into running after quitting due to weather. Summers are very hot in FL but the winter weather makes up for it! :flowerforyou: Good luck everyone!!

    Great time firegirlred!
    I did a five miler today. It was spitting rain outside, but it didn't seem to bother me. I'll be Shredding Mon-Wed but will be back Thursday through Sunday.
    Happy running all!

    Great job firegirl! I'm excited to hear about it.

    Even though I just did two miles, they were sllllloooow. I can still feel yesterday in my legs. I'm getting some discomfort in my plantar fascia. :frown:

    It sounds like everyone had a decent day. Jane, you were missed. The course started uphill, but wasn't too bad. It was a downhill finish, so it went by really fast.

    I remember thinking at one point "pain is strength leaving, wait that's not right. Pain is weakness leaving. Yeah right."

    I found a website last night that has one hour MP3's designed for runners wanting to pace their run, and another website that recommended specific paces for specific speeds. I downloaded a track for the race today and found out the recommended pace was almost dead on. But I started the race pacing someone that swore he ran an eight minute mile. Two miles into the race I realized that wasn't true, but couldn't make up what I had lost. On a positive note, I know how to pace the beginning of a race, so the end doesn't kill me.
    If anyone wants the websites for the MP3's or the pace information, PM me. They really made a difference in my run.
