Hollandfest 10K Race Goals

Hello Friends,

It's been too long. My week and a half of vacation turned into a month off of my blog. I'm sorry, I would say I won't do it again, but who knows. Sometimes I just need a break from something to get myself recharged.

Alright, enough about that, let's move on to my goals for tomorrow.
I'm running a 10K tomorrow with a friend from work, and I am excited for two reasons. First, this is going to be her first race, which is awesome. I remember my first race and how good it felt to finish and be able to say I did it. Second, we are also going to run a half marathon together, so really this is just the appetizer to my next two months of training. As seems to be my pattern, here are my four goals for the race.

1. Just finish, enough said.

2. Stay safe. My leg is back to 95%, I feel good, but it has been very hot and humid around here for the last few weeks. In my last race, I think I got a little heat stroke and this is prime weather for it to happen again. I run to be healthy for the rest of my life, so I need to stay safe to enjoy the rest of my weekend with my family.

3. Finish in 1:15:00. That would be a slow pace for me, but it is a good goal knowing that I may be better off just taking it slow instead of pushing myself.

4. Finish in under an hour. This will be pushing it. I'm going to see how it goes tomorrow. If the humidity isn't too bad and I feel good, I'm going for it!

Wish me luck and watch for results on Sunday!
