Ok, ok, yes, I am overdue on my Morro Bay race report. It is all written, just not formatted. Sorry.
I’m busy thinking about days ahead! Two events this weekend: Alameda Holiday Kick-Off 5k Run/Walk (Supporting the Multiple Myeloma Cancer Foundation in honor of my teammate’s father), and the Berkeley Half Marathon!
I’m running the 5k and volunteering at the half – I actually raced in the Berkeley Half last year and now I am very confident that I know what not-in-half-shape feels like (so, what I feel like). Find me and the rest of OTC at the end of the Frontage Road (the 9 mile turn around)! I know we have a few teammates running so I’ll be thrilled to see them, and hopefully they’ll be happy to see us too because honestly, that out-and-back sucked last year. Like really bad. I’ll pretend we’re the light at the half-way point of the tunnel.
As for a 5k goal – according to Athlinks, which is an excellent resource if you haven’t used it before, my best 5k time is a 28:08. So I guess my goal is to break 28 minutes – 9 minute miles. I’ll let you know how that turns out.
