Running Accomplishments:

I started running in 2008 while I was a stay-at-home-mom. I discovered this blog in July 2010 and followed the advice from the blog to gradually improve my distance/speed. I achieved various PR's in 2010/2011. I went back to work part-time in 2012-2015 and switched to mostly running trail runs. When I got prego with my third child in 2016, I stopped running and started work full-time. After a 7 year hiatus, I returned to running in 2022. I have alot of work to do to get back in shape, but looking forward to the challenge!

Ran at 4:30 pm. Hottest part of the day. Weather=85 degrees, 43% humidity, 16 mph wind, sunny.

Race is on Sunday. Thought this workout would be good preparation. The wind and heat were factors today... Two days ago I ran when it was 75 and felt fine... today at 85 I felt like I was running on the sun. To think that in the summer we will have 60 or more days of 100 degree temps! Ugh!

Ran 2.4 loop in 19:30 (8:01 average pace). The final .4 mile was at 7:38.

Ran 2.4 loop in 19:32 (8:02 average pace). The final .4 mile was 7:12.

Then I ran the 1 mile loop in 6:44.

The forecast for Sunday is 52 in the morning. Wind 10-15 mph coming from the northeast. The race map would have me going toward the northeast in the first 8 miles before turning and going due south for the final 5 miles. Incidentally, there is also a gradual hill we go up that peaks at mile 8 and then we are downhill for 4 miles. It could be nice to have downhill and wind at my back to look forward to after mile 8. I just hope I don't wear myself out prior to mile 8. I'm considering my strategy here... hmmmmm....

Good luck on Sunday. Don't worry about the wind. Just tuck into the back of a group and relax.

I'll be looking foreward to your race report. A local 5k for me tomorrow with lots of folks from the blog.
