What's wrong with me? I keep swearing 5k's off, yet I just found myself agreeing to running another one. Somebody please knock some sense into me!
Apparently, I'll be running the "Run from the Sun" 5k, benefiting the Melanoma Research Foundation. The race is being put together Scarlet Lawrence Atkins Foundation. Scarlet lost her battle to Melanoma two years ago, a day before her 28th birthday and three months after giving birth to her daughter. Her mom came and spoke at the running program I currently am part of.
This morning, I was supposed to do a long run... on the treadmill. Sounds exciting, ugh? NOT! I wanted to see where I stood training wise and how fast I should/could run the 5k on Friday. I ran the 3+ miles at a 7:30 pace. It wasn't too bad but I fear that there is no way I can sustain the pace given that we've been under constant heat advisory for the last week or so, it's humid as heck, the race is at 7 p.m. and that there are a few hills on the course. I'll be running the exact same route as my first 5k, which was the Youth Villages 5k. Should be interesting!
