Running Updates...
Great mid-morning run on Saturday...after a pretty restful night of sleep, I was feeling amped to shoot for a slightly longer-distance record, so I set my sights on the 12-lap (5.457 mile) standard. Ran at a pretty strong pace from the start and only faltered a little during the last two laps. Managed to take over two minutes off of my best time, crossing the line at around a 41:30 10k pace. I definitely need to compete in some more races in the near future.
There's a 5k in Falls Church (Jaguar) this Saturday morning that looks like it might be fun (http://www.active.com/page/Event_Details.htm?event_id=1703640&assetId=AA0FB795-9054-410C-B746-CDDDB8CAD7DA) & another one in Metairie, LA (Run For Home) next Saturday (http://www.active.com/page/Event_Details.htm?event_id=1692567&assetId=23b5c575-2f56-49d9-9f27-bec92e5c5259), early enough that I might be able to squeeze it in and still have time for coffee & beignets at Cafe du Monde before enjoying the final day of my upcoming N'awlins vacation.
