Check out the worn down heel on my old pair. Yikes!
2. It was freeeeezing for our group run tonight! Hard to believe I was able to wear shorts and a tank last Thursday. We had an LT run on the schedule, I opted to skip the LT portion to save my legs for Sunday.
3. Speaking of which.... Sunday, March 28th: Around the Bay 30K, "Older than Boston"
I've registered and been unable to run in both 2008 (ITBS) and 2009 (separated shoulder). Here's hoping third time's the charm!
While this race is technically a training run for my upcoming marathon(s), I'm definitely seeking some 30K redemption from that miserable race last summer.
As usual, I have three goals:
A. (I hope I can) 2:50:00 (4:00 marathon pace)
B: (I think I can) sub-3:00:00
C: (I know I can) PR sub-3:05:03
Around the Bay is known for its challenging rolling hills in the final 10K and the weather is not looking good. Keeping this in mind, I don't expect to achieve my "A" goal, but I don't want to sell myself short either. Anything could happen!

We're getting dumped on here in DC today, hope that's not your forecast for the race!! Ugh. Either way, you'll definitely get one of those goals - you always do ;)

You'll rock it. I like that last 10km the best as it is truly the prettiest part of the course.
Don't forget to high five the grim reaper at the cemetery at the last 3km of the race.
...and low five the little person if he is there just past the RBG.

Hey it's Katherine (that used to hang out on WB). I start half-marathon training next week and I've been reading your blog for inspiration.
Love the new shoes, I bought a new pair last week for when I start my training too. They seem so...white and clean lol.
And of course good luck at your race tomorrow!
Anything can happen ... so true with my race last weekend. Best of luck on yours, Marline!
