The pre-race registration seemed well organized and the race started on time. I finished in 29:15, which gave me a mile pace of 9:26. That’s in between my results for the Run Shadyside and Chamber Classic last year, and I’m pretty happy with it. It’s early in the season and I have plenty of time to improve before the Great Race. I finished 44rd out of 60 males in my age group and 110 out of 208 total participants (though some of them were walkers and skew the results a little).

More running that I've ever done. I have an excuse though. Satchel Paige, the great pitcher who lasted until he was 59 in baseball listed not running as one of his secrets to longevity. http://alesrarus.funkydung.com/archives/1986#comment-3295 Steve Nicoloso Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 http://alesrarus.funkydung.com/wordpress/archive/1991#comment-3295 More congratulations, Funky. Tho' I'd totally disagree with you about coffee before the race... I usually seek a double dose, even more so for a race as short as 5k. Caffeine is a safe and cheap performance enhancing drug!!<br /><br />You're absolutely right not to worry about weight, per se'. Work on getting faster... the weight will come off automatically. Tho' I have found that there seems to be a limit after about a year or two. If you're training really hard, you'll end up losing less weight... or none... 'cause you gotta eat a LOT to keep up a hard training regimen. Of course, licit overeating is life's other best pleasure!<br /><br />I'll be running the Virginia Ten Miler next Sat...<br /><br />Cheers!

I can't seem to get myself running ever. http://alesrarus.funkydung.com/archives/1986#comment-3299 Rob Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 http://alesrarus.funkydung.com/wordpress/archive/1991#comment-3299 I'm fighting a knee injury. The question is whether I'll even be able to cover the race on Sunday, not just whether I'll be able to keep up with you.
