Alright... So for the month of September this is where I stand:

01SEP08 - Labor Day 5k run: 2nd overall - 19:08

03SEP08 - Regular Wednesday 5k (non-competitive): 2nd overall - 19:24

11SEP08 - Patriots Day (9/11) 5k run: 3rd overall - 19:06

17SEP08 - Regular Wednesday 5k (non-competitive): 19:04

18SEP08 - Air Force B-Day 5k run: 4th overall, 1st in 29 & Under group - 18:34 (New personal record)

24SEP08 - Regular Wednesday 5k (non-competitve): 18:58


Now... Things to look forward to: I have the Army 10 miler on Oct 5th. I think I'll still have a chance at placing decent even though I've never run that far for a competitive time, but I doubt many people are gonna run it and "shock the world" that aren't doing good in the 5ks. So it'll be fun. Other than that I don't think there are any other specialty 5k runs other than a Halloween run at night (that will be interesting and suck since it's not morning).

I just got my new Garmin Forerunner 301 to help me keep track of my pace, so we'll see how much conditioning I can do from here. When they put pictures up of the events I'll post them here.

Awesome man, good job on that. The 10 miler ohhhhh man, that would whomp most asses lol. Down some simple carbs before running that one.

Yea, I think it'll be fun. I'll let you know how it goes. I only know that some of it is going to suck because like 70% of it is running on dirt/sand...

Wow that might make it harder depending on if its hard or soft sand. Just dont injure yourself

Most of it is hard sand with rocks all spread through it (it sucks), and then I heard from one of my running buddies that there is a sand patch that goes pretty deep that runs for about 50-75 meters on the back stretch... I won't injure myself though, I'll just get all pissy at the sand.

01OCT08 - Regular Wednesday 5k (non-competitve): 18:40

05OCT08 - Army 10 Miler: 01:09:53. 11th out of 974. Bleh, at least it's a time I wanted to get...

From the Patriot Day (9/11) race:

Congrats man, awesome time and nice on placing in the top 1% Very impressive!

Nice dorkiz!!!

I'm training for triathlons for next summer right now. I'm way out of shape, so I have some catching up to do in my 5k's. I'm about 19:15-40 seconds right now.

My personal best in 5k to date is 18:03 about 2 years ago. We can motivate each other . I want that 18 minute barrier!

I think you can do it. Especially if you used to run before.

My next goal is to run under a 12 min 2 mile run. I think I can do it since I'm only about 20 seconds off last time I ran one, and it was at night at the end of the day. I have a record APFT coming up on the 26th, so I have until then.

damn dude... haha. you would give me a run literally for my money...

I rean one recently,, granted I was following a really hot girl. and ran one in 20:03.

But then again I play soccer. Don't run straight. hehe. I was training for a half marathon. getting back into that. Just hard on your body after a while.

Tell me about it... I ran a slow 5k yesterday for the fun run and came in at 19:34... Still felt sore as hell though. I feel pretty good today though.

13OCT08 - Navy Birthday 5k. 2nd place overall with a new personal record of 18:20.

Go me! Our 4 man half marathon relay race is only 6 days away. Eep!

Oh, and it was humid/foggy as f**k this morning! I could only see about 10 feet in front of me, and worse than that, my glasses would fog up after running for about half a kilometer! Had to keep taking them off and wiping them real quick so I could see. :s

:O

15OCT08 - Slow fun run Wednesday: 19:20


I like how my slow runs are still low 19s... It's making me happy haha.
