 Run
Comments: Felt like I was going to die. I am out of shape plus a Clydesdale but, saying that, I am very proud of my time. I was hoping for 45 minutes. Anything under a 9:30/mile pace would have been acceptable. Maybe it was the competition or the pace booty but I was under 9/min so I am very very happy. I do not like to run and at the 5k mark I was cursing myself for not signing up for that distance but I kept going. What would you do differently?: Run more and longer? Lose 20 pounds. Jump into the time machine back 20 years?? Nothing really. I am just old and overweight. I just need to enjoy myself!  Post race
Warm down: Everyone who raced got a coupon for a free Guinness. It sounds good but after an 8k, it was not thirst-quenching. There was an Irish dance group which was fun to watch. It sucks not racing alongside anyone so I was there at the race solo. I just walked around a little bit and got my car and drove home! What limited your ability to perform faster: Who says I could have gone faster? I am not a balls to walls kind of runner. I am a slow runner who speeds up occasionally. Event comments: 10 am is a good start. It was a little hot but who would have thought March would be this warm?? Last updated: 2012-01-31 12:00 AM

I was solo, again, on this race. As always, the breakfast of champions - a stop at 7-11 for a diet Coke, bananas and Coffee Roll!!! Thank God this race was at 10 cuz I would have never gotten out of bed for a 8 am race. Basically got up and drove downtown.
If going to the porta-potty 3 times is a warmup, then that is my WARMUP!!! It was a beautiful day lakeside!!!
