5k this saturday...race #9

[thebulldog]

My 2013 resolution was to do a race a month...saturday marks #9. I ran a great 5k on my own a few weeks ago but have not been able to match it since....hoping for a miracle now. I ran part of the course yesterday and it felt fine. Fingers crossed.

As someone who just ran her first race, that is so amazing! Way to go! Good luck this weekend!

This is such an awesome goal!

Technically it work out to "on average"....i did a 10-miler in april followed by the nike 1/2 on April 28th so i counted that for May. The last two have been more fun runs than races but 5k is 5k in my mind.
I havea 10k in oct, a 1/2 in nov...then i just need to find a Dec race!
We have done a turkey trot on thanksgiving before but part of me wants to do dec so i can bascially stick to the once a month idea.

Good luck!!! This was my goal as well. July and August sucked a$$ for finding races. WHY DO RACE ORGANIZERS THINK TWILIGHTERS ARE A GOOD IDEA IN THE SUMMER?

I stopped all running in May as a mental break....i picked it up again slowly in june and july and wanted to die. Way way too hot. Hats off to you!

My 5k race pr was in jan just two days after four days of boozing it up in cancun for new years eve.....my second best was in aug in the midst of "beer and chocolate" weekend with friends. Apparently the more i drink the better i run.

Good luck! I was hoping to do that, but on my way to my Feb. race, my sister called was in labor, and asked me to come to the hospital. Since then, I have also missed August. But I got the rest of the months in so far.

Oppps, didn't mean to hijak your thread

You should have run in May and skipped June and July, they sucked.  I hope all this warm weather running leads to some nice PRs in the fall!!

Way to go! You may have inspired me to try this next year, since I already know of races I want to do in January, March, April, and May. Summer would be tough though. I haven't raced since May!
