Alright, today's Thursday. That means the DSE runners' club hold their usual summer running series at Lake Merced tonight. I've heard about it on active.com, but have never attended one. I think I'm going to go tonight and run that 4.5 miles. I really just want to try it and see how I do. The DSE club is also the one that's holding the 5k/10k event this weekend. I'm pretty sure I'm going to run in this weekend's race.
Anyway, we'll see how today goes... I really hope I do go out and run that 4.5 miles tonight w/ the other runners who's participating in the running series. I guess we'll see.
So, I think I did pretty decent yesterday. I went out last night and ran (or I guess you can say "jogged") 2 miles. Lately I've been trying to get my time/pace lower. Before the last two runs, my pace was at 12 minutes and something. Now, it's down to like 11 minutes and something seconds, which isn't so bad... it's kind of like a whole minute faster. Anyway, my goal is to run at an 11 minute pace (at least!) for the Nike+ Human Race at the end of the month.
Oh, speaking of the Nike+ race, I just found out that neither Mark or I will not be down in LA in time to pick up our runners' packets. I feel so silly!! Our flight doesn't arrive until after midnight Saturday night and according to the Nike+ website, we have to pick up our packets days before the event. They will absolutely not have packet pick ups the day of the event. Ahhhhhh! Now, I have to try to see if Lindsay or anyone in LA can pick up our packets for us. It sucks, cuz I hardly know anyone! There's Lindsay... and then there's KB's bf... and that's it! If those two can't do it... I guess I'll have to change my flight and leave SF way before Mark on that Saturday to get down there in time to pick up our packets before they closes. Well, stay tune for this story I guess.
Alright, here's what I've eaten/plan to eat for today:
