I jumped the gun and went ahead and signed up for the Sac Beer Week 5K. Hopefully I won't have any setbacks in the next week that make that a bad decision.
To prep for the run, I added three minutes to my last run instead of two and will likely do the same on Tuesday. This way, I should have ran 3.1 miles at least once before the race next Saturday.
In my 25 minute run today, I covered 2.9 miles at my fastest pace of the year: 8:35 per mile. To break my PR next weekend, I'll need to average better than 8:15 per mile. Organized runs bring about an excited energy that propel me to fun much faster than my training runs. I don't know how much that'll be true this go 'round, but I think there's a good chance that I could break my PR next weekend. And if I don't, the run should give me good insight into where I'm at that should help with breaking it at a future run.
