I am doing a 10K on Thanksgiving. Anyone want to join me? I am on average a 12 minute mile runner. Anyone? http://www.kathyloperevents.com/hungry/

    UGH if I were staying in town on Thanksgiving I so would. That is about my pace too and I love 10k's!! Maybe another race?

    That would be awesome! I totally need a running buddy. My husband just isn't motivated. This is my first 10k, I am a little nervous. I have done two 5ks now though. Any advice?

    :frown: I don't have the guts to bust out a 10K yet plus I will be at my mom's house that morning (possibly attempting a 5K). Have you thought about Jinglebell 5K? It's December 11th 8am in Balboa

    I'm already signed up for the Jingle Bell run. :) I think the hubby and kids may join me for that one.

    We should have made a team or group!

    well this will be fun! It'd be nice to meet you guys! I'm definitely going to sign up now!

    Amanda tell Annalisa to join in! Are you guys dressing up?

    My company's Christmas party is the night before... I don't think I'll make it to the Jingle Bell lol.

    I am just wearing antlers, wasn't sure what else to wear. Analisa is signing up, too. Come on Sunnyk8! What better way to work off a hangover?

    I will think about it... the only thing is I'm training for a half marathon and I need to see where my running group is at that weekend. If we are repeating mileage we have already done then I can probably do it, but if we are doing a new distance I should probably go to that.

    Hmm, it does sound pretty fun to do a run with all the MFP-ers though. Might justify skipping run group... What pace do you guys normally do?

    Amanda - did you do the Del Mar Mud Run?

    I didn't do it. I had a 5k the day after it and didn't want to be too sore. :( I am trying to pick my runs more carefully so I won't miss out on something like that next time.

    I run a 10:30 mile now. However, with the run being in Balboa I am pretty sure I will be more of a 11:30 mile. Very crowded and lots of evasive movers to get around walkers, kids, dogs, strollers and out of the way of 9 minute runners.

    I've been pacing myself at a 12-13 minute mile when I'm doing my 5 mile jog on the weekend around miramar lake- it's a little hilly and I think part of that pace is mental. Granted with a shorter distance, adrenaline, and someone else next to me going faster I'll pick it up to try to match you guys! I'll do whatever you guys want to do!

    I run between 11-12, usually. :) So this could work out very nicely! I'll keep you updated, but I'll probably sign up :)

    We can create a MFP team for the 15K Resolution Run in January.

    What do you think? We just need 5 people.

    Shoot!
    I'm going to be in Vegas that weekend :frown: That would've been a perfect boost (my birthday goal is the following week).
    Going to run with you via satellite on a treadmill at Bally's.

    Hey- I average a 10:30 min mile on my run yesterday! I am ready to hang with you guys at Jingle bell!

    I am interested in the 15k. Will let you know within the next few days :)

    But unfortunately I can't do the Jingle Bell with you beautiful ladies. I just checked my running group and we are due for 10 miles that day. I've never gone that distance before so I should probably stick with them.

    Hope you have fun though!
