I like to end with a little sprint. It gives a little tingle . . . a little. Know what I'm talking about? I went very slow today bc I feel a little under the weather. I'm not going to get moaning-and-shivering sick like everyone else in my family has been. I never got the fever. Thank you thank you thank you.
Good news about my 5k next Friday--it's in the evening!!! Yea! Plus it is for a good cause--fighting melanoma. It is supposedly flat and fast. It will be sweltering hot. It will be my first 5K post high school.
I've been thinking about goals. For this race I want to beat Paul Petersen's time: 30:45. The only difference is that his time was for a 10K and I'll be running 5. This may sound like it's not very fair to Paul. But think of it this way--he's been running far more than twice as long as I have and has more than twice the natural talent, plus he is a man . . . it is only fair that he should run twice as far as me for the same time. : ) If anyone else on the blog has a faster 10K time let me know--I'll beat it. But for now, you're going down, Paul! (At least, your time is anyway--BTW good luck in Ogden.) |
