Tonight is my first 5K of the season. I’ve run approximately 6 miles since my last 5K in April to prepare for this event. It’s been too hot in Florida to run, so I have a legitimate excuse to cover for my illegitimate excuses for being lazy.
Tonight isn’t just any 5K. It’s a 5K over a bridge & back. When I pointed out to PC that this meant I would literally be running uphill both ways, he promptly pointed out that it also means it’s downhill both ways. I guess I’m just not a “glass half full” kind of person when it comes to torturing myself with an ill-prepared race.
While a cold front is coming through tonight, I don’t think it will be cool enough to pull out the lucky orange pants. You may recall I started a trend last year:
I’m thankful that I will get to run in the cover of darkness for this race. My goal is to simply finish it without walking.
Wish me luck! 
YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
I’ve been gearing up to train again for the mini-marathon… I totally need to get some orange pants myself for that!!
Let us know how it goes!
Break a leg! Oops! :-O
Good luck! Yep…the cold front is moving in. I can feel it already! I think the orange pants are a must!!!
Goooodddd luck!!!!
Orange is the only color to run in. Especially in Florida.
And good luck on today’s run
Good Luck!!!
Belated Good Luck! So, how was uphill both ways???
Lucky orange pants are the way forward. Ideally there would be a matching lucky orange hat, scarf and sweat bands.
So, how did it go?
