It is getting cold.  Form felt a little unnatural for some reason.

Just getting out the door was a victory for me today.  One of those mornings that took all that I had to convince myself to run.  Once I got out I actually felt great.  The rain was annoying but the temps were perfect.

I lost the battle today.  Sometimes the need to maintain employment outweighs the need to run.

I started out late but I was not going to allow myself to shorten the run today after missing yesterday.  Effort felt good although I couldn't find my Garmin so I am not sure how fast I actually ran.

Hilly run.  Feel pretty blah.

Race: The Undead 5k (3.3 Miles) 00:20:45

My girls soccer game for today was rescheduled so we decided last night to run the Undead race this afternoon.  It is a 5k and I am not expecting much.  I can tell that I am not in very good 5k shape right now.  Just hoping to keep it under 20.  I put in a few miles this morning just so that I can get some mileage today.  I would like to get a few in tonight too but do not think it will happen.

The Undead Race

The race was a mess so I won't spend much time on the report.  You could either sign up as a human or the undead with the human's getting a 2 minute headstart.  Emma and I ran as humans and Becky and Gracie ran as zombies.  They decided to change the course after 1/2 mile.  I am not saying that the course was different at the 1/2 mile mark but they actually changed it while we were running.  Because of this everybody ended up running different distances.  I had no idea how much I was going to end up racing and really lost focus at this point and just cruised the rest of the run.  It was so crowded that it was impossible to get into a good groove anyway.  My race ended up being 3.3 miles while Becky only ran 2.5.  I hit the 5k mark at 19:36 which was slow but the time that I expected.  It will be interesting to see how the organizers handle this since they were offering cash prizes.  I don't know why people insist on making things so much more difficult than they need to be.
