As I stated a couple posts ago, I have set the bar for today's Kerrymen Pub 5k at sub-22. This is a tad on the aggressive side since I have not really done any fast running. My reasoning was this: Last summer I did 22:4x-something on a hilly course in the pouring rain. I think shaving 40-something seconds off is reasonable, right?
That's only about 15 seconds per mile....
I know I am physically capable of achieving this-I just need to shut off my head today and go.
But, not gonna lie. I am nervous!!
I want to achieve this goal. This is a relatively flat course but it's crowded. So let's see what I have in the tank today...and let's see what my little head has to say.
Storm The Castle!!!

Enjoying your blog! Can't wait to hear if you got your goal. I just barely got into the 22:20 range a couple of months ago. Can't wait to get below that. Good luck! I'm at thepregnantrunner.blogspot.com.
Crazy to have a race on a Wednesday. Can't wait to find out how it went! If you made it sub-22, congrats! If not, there's always next time!
