This morning, I ran the MAF Flamingo 5K– my second official race in 36 hours– and was fairly pleased with my results. This course is essentially a run over the Melbourne Causeway, twice. I was able to keep a fairly even pace the entire way through, with a 7:05, 7:00, and 7:00 miles, finishing the race at 21:38. That’s good enough for 91st place, out of over 1400 that entered. Needless to say, I am, again, pleased with my results. I’m not sure as to when my next 5K will be, but I will continue to train, and continue to progress towards the ultimate goal of 26 miles, 385 yards.
It looks as if the quartet is about an 80% GO for this weekend, as opposed to 50-50 a few weeks ago, or 60-40 last week. Duane keeps prodding Josh on to just skip the weekend, and come up to Jax regardless. I’m hoping this is the case, as we’ll be able to sing in the quartet, go out on Friday night, and have fun. Looking at the draw, I think that we have a favorable chance of moving on to Saturday night. Whether we’re in the contest or the MT, though, remains to be seen. It’ll come down to Friday.
Studying for finals is going well, so far. I’ve been reading up the last day or so, and will hit the books some more tonight and tomorrow before physically working problems and such out. Pray that I can pull this off… it will take grace from God for me to hold a 4.00.
And, while you’re at it, pray that the Red Sox can win a game… 2 heart-breaking losses, 4 losses in a row.
