Current (immediate) goals?
I thought it was time for another post!
Yesterday I ran a 10k, instead of the ½-marathon I hadn't gotten in shape for. I'm not sure what my time was, as my chip either malfunctioned or was not my chip. If a team-mate's chip was functioning correctly, though, my time was under 1:07:00, which is my best time yet, so yay. Also it was my first race in pouring rain, which was fun, at least after the fact :oD
My current immediate goal is to give my knee a few days' rest, then work towards running 5.5k in 35 mins.
Another goal is to find someone to drive me to participate in a 10k race in hilly country August 29th. Since I'm used to running in very, very flat country, it'll probably be killer, but hopefully fun and w/ pretty scenery.
What about you?

What did you wear in the rain? I have never raced in the rain other than a bit of passing drizzle.
My next goal is to run the Imogene Pass Run (a 17-mile mountain race which I did last year) in under 4 hours. My fallback goal is to beat my previous time of 4:11, my pixie-dust goal is 3:45.

I just wore my regular running clothes - something in the vicinity of this for pants and a shortsleeved, synthetic running shirt. They're sponsored, and I've been happy running in them. Some of the more serious runners wore plastic bags before the race, and a few even ran in them. Although it got chilly waiting for the race to begin, I had no problem getting warm while running, and I wouldn't have wanted to wear a plastic bag. My clothes warmed to body temperature while running, and although they were soaking wet, I didn't realize it until I got home and took them off - it was quite astounding how soaked they were!
I remember that race! I had to go look up pics to see if I remembered correctly, and yup, that's the one. It looks so awesome and is totes the inspiration for me wanting to do the hilly 10k in 2 weeks. I hope I can get a ride (I'm offering to pay race fee for the driver) :oD
