weekly check-in

First of all: best of luck to [personal profile] ilanarama, who is running the Boston Marathon today!

And now, on to the weekly thing: how did your week go, do you feel good about that and what are you up to next?

I hope to participate in a 4.5K race on May 4. My goal is to run the whole time, and complete in 30 mins. To that end, I hope to get myself out to run at the very least twice a week, hopefully three times.

Woohoo! That's a bit of an odd distance, but I bet it's good for psyching yourself up by thinking, "not as far as a 5K!"

It's a women's race - I think it's deliberately short to make sure too many aren't intimidated by it. I also think it's not 5K, because it's a small town, and they saw that "these paths add up to 4.5K, which is probably the closest thing we'll get to a round number - we'll take it!". At the end of May there's a 5.5K/10K race, so it seems hitting 5K is just too hard in our forest :o)
