I really do not have anything terribly interesting or new to report on the training front -- I have continued to consistently run 2-3 times a week, hit the weights twice, and get an occasional bike ride in (although with the weather starting to get colder here, I think my outdoor riding this year is likely over). The real reason for the post is that I signed up for a local 5K race this upcoming Saturday morning! This will be my first open 5K in years, and I am interested to see how I do. I know one of the keys will be making sure my body is nice and warmed up beforehand -- the race is way too short to make up time if my first mile is really slow. I would be thrilled to run anywhere close to the 6:30 pace I averaged for the run portion of my last sprint triathlon, but given the fact I have not run an open 5K in such a long time, realistically I should be happy breaking 21:00. We will see...
