« Papa John's 10 miler Race ResultReady for the weekend! »

Just hours to go!

04/10/09 | by Tom [mail] | Categories: News

It's almost bed time. I have to get up about 5:30 in the morning to start getting my game face on. LOL Tomorrow is going to by the longest race I have ran to date at 10 miles. I am both excited, and intimidated at the same time. How fast should I run. I know I need to pace myself, both to be able to finish well, and simply to survive the park. I have ran several times in Iroquois park both in races and just training, so I am comfortable with it. However, my races have all been relatively short, and all my training runs have been relatively slow. This will be the first long run involving the park in a race.

The goal I think will be to go conservative until out of the park, and then negative split the second half. It sounds more impressive than it is, as most people that don't go out to hard and burn their self out through the park will most likely negative split just do to the course.

Any way, that is my current thoughts on tomorrow's race. Good luck to everyone running tomorrow, and If you are running the Papa John's 10 miler tomorrow, look us up before the race. We plan to park here:Papa John's Lot
You shouldn't be able to miss us. I will be in my blue Kia Optima with some new RunTheVille signs in the front and rear windows. Hope to see you there!
