monroeville classic 5K

The Pinball

i have never tried this 5K even though they've been doing it for over 15 years and it's only 40 minutes away. it's a basic flat course around a mall, you know those roads that loop around every mall? it was 2.5 laps around this loopy road.

heat and humidity were really a factor today, it was full sun and steamy at the 9AM start. i ran the whole thing like this:

i really felt the heat today and those mall speedbumps in a race course suck. the squinting got old after the first mile and i ran behind some woman with a visor. i wanted that visor like i wanted a cold shower. give me that visor woman. Mad

i got a 5K PR of 23:17, a slight improvement over last weekends race and since they gave out 5 overall awards, i got a first in my age group.

when i got home, my daughter had a new nike running visor waiting for me. she'd gone shopping with her dad while i was out and she saw it and bought it for me. HOW COINCIDENTAL Shocked

i shall wear my dri-fit visor next sunny race. Mr. Green

I guess all that racing you're doing this year is paying off.

Hardware and a pr on a hot muggy day - what more could you ask for... besides a visor and you have that too. Good job RR!

You got the good hardware. You can send those bottle caps back to Jacked now.

Very proud of you, Rock! Congratulations on both accomplishments! Very Happy

The Monroeville Mall!! I've been there!! Did you know that's where the original Dawn of the Dead movie was filmed?

Good going on the race this morning. The weather sucked today.

Congrats on the First Place!!! And that's so weird about the visor. Wink
