weekly check-in

[ilanarama]

Hello, runners? How goes it? Did you race this weekend? Are you racing next weekend? How goes the change of seasons in your part of the world?

Here's your inspirational quote for the week:

"We run, not because we think it is doing us good, but because we enjoy it and cannot help ourselves...The more restricted our society and work become, the more necessary it will be to find some outlet for this craving for freedom. No one can say, 'You must not run faster than this, or jump higher than that.' The human spirit is indomitable." - Sir Roger Bannister

Running's going well.

I'm doing my first 10K on Sunday! I'm psyched, but also a bit nervous. On the website it says nothing about a given pace. Then the other night we get an email saying we have to be clear of a certain point by 9:30 - an hour into the race assuming we start running right at 8:30. This point is 4.1 miles in. (It's on an island that opens to the public at like 10 or so and the vendors start coming in on the ferry in their trucks at 9:30.) Based on my "go all out and see how long it takes you to hit 4.1 miles" run yesterday, I should be good...I've got 12 minutes of wiggle room. So fingers are crossed!!!!

12 minutes is plenty - you should be fine. Good luck!
