I know I haven't posted since my Dave's Run 5K recap, but not much has been going on in the life of the kid.....well, unless you call dealing with some obscure injury nothing. For the past 6-8 week, I've been dealing with some abdominal pain, and really don't have a good answer to whats going on. Docs have made all of the suspected diagnosis's to come up with every blood test, x-ray, and/or lab as normal....So since I'm "normal", I just deal with the pain. My guess is as good as theirs, so it's probably a pulled abdominal. I've started doing some active recovery sessions of the lower abs, and its feeling better, but still there....This may be a long process.
That being said, I did do a 5K in the Race for the Cure in 22:20, and will be running the annual Cinco De Mayo 10K this Sunday. I've run this race 3 times, and I expect to CRUSH my PB on the course. It is a BRUTAL course.....uphill for 2 miles, downhill to the 5K turnaround.....Back uphill to mile 4, then 2.2 back down hill.
2005: 49:10 7:55/mile
2007: 51:17 8:15/mile
2008: 52:40 8:28/mile
2009 Target: 46:30 or a 7:30/mile
I think that's very doable.....My last 40 minute tempo run (by myself I might add), over a course that we've setup to be a very similar profile to the Cinco course, was right at that pace. So, I'm hopeful that the race day pull you get from running a race will pull me a bit ahead of my goal!
I'll post either Sunday or Monday my results!!!
