To run the Fifth Third River Bank Run 25k in 2015 wasn't in question when they unveiled the new medal. Isn't she pretty!?! Finally, a re-design after using the same medals year after year after year after year....you get the idea.
What's in question is whether I'm ready to start training for another big race. I got a little burned out training for Detroit but the payback of a nearly 35 minute marathon PR was worth it. I'm wondering what I could pull off for the 25k in May. How hard do I want to work? My PR is a 2:41:33 (10:25 pace) and that was pretty tough. Think I could go sub 2:30? That would be around a 9:30 pace. I think that's probably a big of a stretch carrying the extra weight I have and seriously lacking in speedwork, but May is a long ways off.
I haven't registered yet because there's rumor that they are partnering with another race and that could mean special bling to sign up at the same time, so I'm going to hold off for now.
In any case, the first official "long" run is tomorrow morning. It's a whopping 5 miles but since I'm still toying with the idea of a winter half, I'm planning to run an extra 3. Anyone want to join me in 8 frigid miles tomorrow morning? At least it's not supposed to snow.
