5K

Houston, TX 7:30 a.m.

Fun race, or after a PR?
It's my first race since my cast and my first time to do 3 miles straight of running since the cast as well. So no real hope for a PR, but I think I should still come in under 30 minutes. I think I'm more nervous about this race than I was my very first 5K.

I've got a red and white shirt and need to find some blue shorts

about 1K registered right now, but they're anticipating 1500

Another Ptree 10k'er here!

tuggyruns I'm jealous of your E! My 10k PR is the same as your siggy and I got stuck in J this year.

My H is seeded, so he'll start like 7.6 hours before me.

Ahaha! There in lies the secret, I used my 5k pr Even though it was a trail race, it was an ATC race so they let me use it! Not like it matter any way because I am hanging with my sis in H. Hopefully the rain holds off for all the Peachtree runners!

[Deleted]

Aw, we're camping. But I helped my runner girl make some headbands for her team for the Freedom Run 4 miler here. This one is her daughter's, attractively slung over my mixer for the picture.

[klindstrom]

Last year someone in front of me dropped LITERALLY a roll of 20 dollar bills...like over 200 dollars..just rolling along. I wanted to stop and scoop them up..but I was afraid I would get trampled...what do you think the odds are of this happening to me again? I'm ready this time I swear!

[runaways]

(Oops, cut off the first question)

Race? Run Wild 5k

Distance? 5k

Where? Houston

Fun race, or after a PR? Probably not a PR considering my current one was at about 20 degrees cooler, and I will have done 6 the night before. Likely I'll push it a little and call it my weekly speed work.

Costume or themed outfit? Not really. Blue tank and white bra, and I did have red fingernails but the polish was all peely and weird so I took it off and will probably be too lazy for a redo.

Race size? No idea.

[Deleted]

I am doing a trail run 10k in northern MI. The course is two Laos around a local nature preserve, so I don't look forward to lap 2, but it should be a good time.

[secretlyevil]

50% chance of rain tomorrow. I hope it's not around race time. That would suck.
