thanks Dale - hopefully I didn't trash my legs for the race on Saturday

What distance is the race on Saturday?

From timp on Thu, Sep 29, 2011 at 13:04:14 from 144.188.24.29

10k- I haven't done a 10K in a very long time.

From DaleG on Thu, Sep 29, 2011 at 13:06:22 from 71.199.57.238

Me either. It's probably been 3 years since my last 10k. Well, maybe two years.

From timp on Thu, Sep 29, 2011 at 13:07:19 from 144.188.24.29

yeah I just checked - mine was 1/1/2009

I'm not a big fan of 5k's pr 10k's.

they are a lot shorter than marathons - that's for sure - gets the pain over quicker.

Solid running! Good luck this weekend! Like an idiot, I failed to register online again in time, so I have to be there 30 minutes early to get registered for an official time. Oh well, should probably arrive that early for warm-ups anyway ... and if I fail to make it in time, it is just a training run anyway!!

see you in the morning, JG. If I don't see you before the race, Good luck! I haven't run this course before so I'm not sure what to expect.

Always interesting to see when they describe courses as 'moderately rolling'. It will be fun finishing with a lap on the track. See you soon!
