re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

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.
