Four easy miles near my house during lunchtime - very humid out, hot. Hopefully it prepares me for Saturday - last year during the race it was so muggy and hot!

I wonder how I'll do Saturday at the 10k... last year I finished in 48 and change, this year I feel much stronger, but I haven't been doing a lot of speed work... I would be so happy to finish around 46! Last year, a month before the Lawyers Have Heart 10k I ran the Capitol Hill Classic in 50 minutes and change... this year I cut two minutes off that course, finishing in 48 and something... so maybe I'll cut two minutes from LHH too? We shall see... anyone wants to try to guess my time? Don't forget I'll be wearing the beautiful Mexico headband, that should make me a whole lot faster!

Good luck!! I'm sure you will do great! Take pics of you with your headband, so we can all get a good laugh :)

What's the course like? Hilly, flat, rolling? There's NO DOUBT you'll do better than last year with all of the speed work you've been doing!

Bet you CAN dot it!

Instead of Gu's, take a bag a chiles jalapeños !

Bets of luck!

jalapenos wow thats funny......best of luck for the 10k

My Guess 45 something deffo sounds like you've been doing well in training :-)

From argentinerocket on Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 09:37:13 from 74.9.147.114

MrsFit, the course is pretty flat, with a slight incline up the first half and slightly down on the way back.

Jalapeños? I am a rocket, not a torpeado!!! :)

Thanks for the vote of confidence guys, I guess the stakes are high, I don't want to disappoint anyone!

45:29 :) Good luck!

Can't wait to hear how you do on SAT!!!

From Eric Day on Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 18:13:04 from 189.192.166.38

You've seen we have the same mileage this week?

I think a sub 47 is in the bag!

And of course, if you don't like the jalapeños, try chile de arbol: they are better fuel than rocket fuel!

Good Luck Lucia!!
