it's got a big hill, apparently
I like to keep my race schedule busy - particularly when I'm feeling a little unmotivated, which is right about now. I just finished my half, and have a trail race next weekend, which I'm very excited for, and then a fun Jingle5K in December, which will be low-key.
I found a 5Miler in November that I thought I might try out: http://timmyfund.com/ ... I've not raced a 5 Miler before, so hey, it's a PR! My boyfriend looked at the course map and told me there's a big killer hill right there at mile 2, and that the downhill would be pretty fierce too.
I think I'm going to give it a shot, and put it on the calendar. I like running uphill. Plus, the start time is 10:30am on a Sunday... nice and LATE!

I just hope I don't lose it all in the downhill. On my half marathon I kept passing the same woman on the uphills....and she promptly kicked my ass on the downhills. Most of the last 3 miles were on an incline though, so I think I beat her! LOL
