NOTE: this was written Saturday 10/23/10...
I'm getting running to run my first trail race tomorrow. Although I've run on part of the course an average of twice a week for the last couple of months...there are other parts that I've never even seen! I wanted to sign up for the 15K. This race is on Sunday morning at 8:30. There's no way I'd have time to run 9.3 miles, shower and be at church by 10:45...so I just signed up for the 5K.
I don't know why I think this, but my guess is that it won't be a very big race...meaning...there won't be very many 40-45 year old women runners...meaning...surely I'll have a chance to win an age group placing!! Having said that, I'm not going to set a goal, other than the hope I won't get lost, and that I can finish fast enough to get to church on time!!
If this goes well....I'm signing up for the McKay Hollow Madness race that will be in March of next year-it's a 14 mile (TOUGH) trail race. It's one of those "you-have-to-finish-to-get-a-shirt" kind of races!
One race at a time.....
Thanks for stopping in, come again soon! (In fact, come again tomorrow to see how I did!)
:D
179 runners finished the combined 15km/5km. You should have done the more challenging 15km:)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, McKay will be 25km this year (15.5 miles) but don't tell anyone!
