mid month crisis

Another mid month crisis has arrived. Thursday the actual day leading in to this weekend.

Saturday agenda-race?

Here is what i found:

1. spartan race AL, WA
2. the biggest loser off road WA
3. trick or trot trail 5k
4. schott 5k
5. light one's path 5k
6. ghost run 5k
7. race for the cure
8. pursuit of honor 5k

You can automatically rule out the first 2 (out of FL). With enough local races, I pass on #3. I chose the latter because it seemed to be closest in proximity. Unfortunately, I didn't race today but did the course pacing a friend (he got 2nd and is in my age cat). Dog tags were given to finishers.

Sunday agenda-race?

Check out whats going on this day:

1. Toronto marathon
2. Detroit marathon
3. the biggest loser half/5k
4. Halloween half key west
5. devil dog 5k
6. buddy run 5k
7. wellington 10 miler
8. rocktoberfest 10 miler

You can automatically rule out the first 3 (out of FL/US). With enough local races, I pass on #4. It's that time when I need to do distance races, so I skipped on 5 & 6; #4 was the furthest, so it's out. Normally, I do the latter and almost did but don't remember doing #7, so I picked that.

Due to finances, I resorted to plan B- enter the 5k but tack on mileage afterwards. Thankfully, the external conditions were decent. My internal conditions were manageable, enough that I was blessed to place and make the podium with a sub 22 (barely) time. Also, I was pleased there was a safety net (finisher medal for both events), removing some pressure from me.
