I finally did it: signed up for a 5k on Thanksgiving morning. The Mr, our older son, and I are all doing it. Just signing up is a big deal for me because I am one those neurotic types who never completes unless the odds of getting first place are stacked in my favor. So... knowing that I likely won't even come close to first, this is a major step outside of my comfort zone
Wow, congrats, way to go on committing to your first race.
I'm doing almost the same exact thing. doing a 5-miler on Thanksgiving morning. Called a Turkey Trot. Lots of hills, they tell me. I have been jogging for a few months, trying to get back in shape after a long layoff. I played college hockey years ago but then took a long hiaturs from most things health-related. LOL.
But after getting married last year--to a much younger woman--I have decided to get back in shape. Running should help. Plus I'm doin some Rec League Hockey this winter.
Next up on my sched is the Austin Rock 'n' Roll Marathon.
Did a little 10K trail run last Saturday.
Been running since high school and then college where I competed in track. (800M, 1500M, & 3000M).
Probly have run about a dozen marathons; a couple dozen 10K's; and my latest favorite type of race to run are those mud runs, stuff like the Spartan Run and the Tough Mudders that have been so popular over the past couple years. I do those whenever there IS one in my area, or within an hour's or so drive.
GL on your Army run this weekend. But man, that's waaay too many people for me. LOL
The rock n roll series doesn't have a race in Austin
Run forever, on-and-off triathlon. Honestly, I've gotten pretty disenchanted with racing lately though. Races almost always started early in the morning, but now 7:00am is the new 8:00am and I just don't have the desire to get up at zero dark thirty.
Triathlons are a lot of logistical work. Packing, setting up, laying things out. There's just so much stuff, it gets kind of tedious.
The worst part of any sort of race though is the hour or two beforehand.
