5K Tomorrow

I'm running my second 5K tomorrow. The first was a cross-country type course and it was hard, but I did it in 37 minutes. This is a street loop, but hilly. I know I can do the distance, my goal is to do it a bit faster than last time. From what I've read about the event, it's considered a fast course, so I'm curious about the competition. The course is a loop that we do 3 times.

Today is a rest day. I didn't do that much running this week. Last Sunday, I did 5K and tried to keep my pace around 5.5 the whole time. I kind of forgot that I should keep my running up in preparation, so we'll see if I'm ready.

Here's the obligatory pre-race gear picture. That's 2 knee braces and 2 ankle braces for these joints that are getting old.


And a picture of my ricotta cheese and blueberry pancakes from lunch yesterday. So, I'm not the most aesthetically pleasing cook (or the best photographer), but they were yummy. My pan wasn't quite hot enough when I started, so the first two got a bit mushy.
