Nothing really on Races in the USA near us for the remainder of Aug or Sept. as far as 10K's. The Tupelo Marathon and 14.2 miler is Sept 1st. frick that sounds brutal, although it starts at 5:30 am, so there's that.
Yeah October 12th is pushing it I'd say, being 2 weeks out of goal race. Let's plan on meeting up 9/14 or 9/15 for a run on the Trace. What race pace are you talking about? An all out 10K or 10K at HMGP? Hopefully we can muster up a Kenyan style group.
Edit: there is an 8K in Ocean Springs on 9/14. I may be down for this one.

I just stumbled upon this Guf Coast running club, looks like they have some events pretty much weekly.

That 8k looks pretty enticing. I'm in if you are. I just really wanted a race longer than 5k to gauge my progress and refine my training paces in that last month and a half. I don't think I've progressed much at all over the past several weeks, but the temperature may be impacting my perception.

Alright, Fall races starting to line up. Registered for these 3 today.
8/24 - Twilight Classic 5K (BR) - Race is @ 7:00 pm, so not expecting too much as it will be balls hot I'm sure. I don't think I'll beat either of my top 5Ks from last year (19:15, 19:27), but I'll be happy to go sub 20. The course is kinda shitty too, plenty of sharp turns through a park. Good way to kick off the season though, just to get the adrenaline pumping.
9/14 - Ocean Springs 8K (Gulf Coast - MS.) - This is bridge run, so I'm sure it'll be a blast (NOT). No real goals here, just gonna try to have fun with it, get the quads/hammies/glutes smokin'. It's given me a reason to mix in some hill training also.
10/27 - Northshore HM (Goal race - Mandeville, La.) - As most are aware here, my goal is 01:30:00. My current PR is 01:41:00, so 01:30:00 will be a significant improvement. In the midst of an 18 week plan to hopefully crack it.
** I have an active Jazz Half Marathon registration for the race on 10/26 in NOLA that can't be deferred or refunded, however it can be transferred. I changed my mind and decided to do the NS race instead. I'd be willing to part with this registration for cheaper than registration price, just so it doesn't go to waste. Otherwise, I may be tempted to do both on consecutive days.
**
Let me know if anyone wants it or know someone that does and we can work it out. It's a great race, I did it last year.
