First 5K of the Season

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!
