Getting excited about my next race, the Grant Park Turkey Trot 5K on Sat, Nov26, which is now less than 3 weeks away. I’m not so much excited about the race itself as I’m juiced by the fact that I have a great group friends (some natural runners, and some who didn't realize they were natural runners) who stepped up to the challenge to do something they didn’t know they thought they would be able to do. I have a lot of respect for these guys and gals! I’ve really enjoyed coaching along some of the new runners and get jacked to hear how they're meeting their goals in their workouts.
I’m a little nervous about the race itself. I signed up a few months ago—actually on a Groupon—because I thought it would be something fun to challenge myself to a new distance. I’ve run one 5K since high school and remember thinking it was essentially a controlled sprint from start to finish. This will be an interesting challenge to go as fast as I can from start to finish. As my brother can attest, I’ve never had much speed; I’m more a turtle than a hare.
Anyone that would like to sign up, it would be fantastic to see you out there. Here is the link:
