Peachtree Road Race 2013

I did my best time in Peachtree Road Race this year! Well, not my PR but it is the best among my other peachtree road race times. Now my goal for the next year is to go below 1 hour. The weather was perfect for running yesterday, it was below 80 on July 4th! The weather, my energy jelly beans and 5 hr energy drink were the key elements for getting this year's best time. From now on I'll have those jelly beans in every race. I chewed one bean every half mile and it helped to soothe my dry throat and provided the energy to climb the hills. I passed the finish line with great joy feeling accomplished that I didn't even stop on the hills. Woo hoo! Then I found myself in a muddy park! Yes, all the rain for the last 3 days in Atlanta turned Piedmont park into a yucky muddy park :( "My New Shoes"!! Noooooooo!!

The time has come, again!

It is that time of the year again, Peachtree Road Race ! Considering my last year's training, I am going to be dead this year! I haven't completed a 4 mile run so far, my pace is no where around 9:30min/mile, yes I am only hoping to survive this year's Peachtree road race with my new running shoes ;) At least I have some new good running songs and new shoes that can take me to the finish line.

Strong Legs 10K

Finally the results are posted. I did better than the previous one but was not able to go below 10min/mile pace. It was a hilly course though, I stopped counting the hills after the 6th one! The course was definitely harder than the one I did on labor day.

1:02:57.09 / 1:02:41.25 / 10:06

last 10K of 2011

I will be doing my last 10K of this year in November. Since I was able to shave 3 minutes off of my peachtree road race result I am looking forward to Strong Legs race to make my time even better than the labor day 10K which was 1:05.
Let's see if I can bring it down to 1 hr range....
