We are about two and a half weeks away from the Statesman 10k race in Austin, TX. I have been preparing by running five kilometers whenever there is a relatively sunny and dry day in March. The stats show that I am in my average running form, at least for the 5k distance. Stretching out that distance by two times may prove to be a different story. I do plan on jogging a few six mile training runs in advance of our flight to Texas. And then, hopefully, my first trip to the Lone-star State will be successful and fun.
The last run in my series of March 5k's was an actual race. Ashley, her workmates and I did an out-and-back course between The Capitol Market and the Capitol last Saturday. The race was WV's Foxtrot 5k which supports Parkinson's research. We all had good race times for the mildly chilly run. You can see the video clips of our finishes on YouTube (Matt at 2:40, Ashley & Jessica at 6:30). And here are a few pictures of our sweaty mugs below.
Watch out for the Statesman 10k preview in the coming week.
