This just popped up on my running radar this week on National Run Day. Someone posted in the HARRA Facebook a discount code for the Run One in Houston.
I'm so in!
My goodness I wish we had had this a few years back when I was fast! I bet that I could have gone sub-8 in a one mile race back in 2008 when I set my 5K PR. Arg, that would have been so awesome!!
Well it isn't 2008, but I've been aching to add back in a little speed. I'm forgoing the long stuff for the foreseeable future. I could see myself getting back up to 10K for the winter, and the 8 mile Turkey Trot for Thanksgiving, but that is ALL. I will not succumb to the temptation to go longer. I will NOT!!! The last time I was going for speed, getting to about 6 miles was helpful, so that'll be the goal this time too.
So this morning I went out and did a one mile "time trial", just to see where I am. 9:50. But I negative split it! I have 3 months to improve. I definitely want to go sub-9. I think I can do it if I really focus on this and don't get hurt. And I think it'll be good for me.
Let the training begin!
