Looks like I've been pressured into my first official event of the running season. My SILs will be running in St. Louis'
St. Patrick's Day Run. It is a 5M run through the streets of downtown St. Louis with upwards of 13,000 participants. My wife might even join me...who knows.
It is less than a month away and despite my treadmill 5Ks, I've been doing, I'm actually still a bit concerned about handling 5 miles outdoors with varying terrain.
Oh well...no time like the present...and always a good time to get better and better.
Figure out a training plan ... It will be awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks...I'm going to keep running my 5Ks and do a long run each of the weekends before the event.
DeleteIs this the thing you didn't want to jinx?! Well, I'm excited for you! Just one step closer to prepare you for the zombie apocalypse!

ReplyDeleteLike you mentioned, be sure to add in some pavement time instead of only treadmills. It will make the biggest difference when you run the race.
Good luck and can't wait to hear how you do!
