Velocity 5K

Anybody doing Velocity's 5K this weekend?
I registered along with my brother and a friend. I thought this might be a good race to run because it's local, the course is flat, and being the first year I'm guessing the field will be small. Looking at satellite images on Google Maps I can't see where we're going to run, but part of the course is on the old run way so that should be fun.

To make things more interesting I feel I've slowed down after Broad Street. Has anybody else felt this? Before Broad Street I was running about 8:45 pace. The last two long runs I did were more like 9:30 pace. Short runs are about 3 miles at about 8:00 pace, but I have to push to finish and I think I get just a second slower each time I run. Then to cap it all off some marathon housework preparing for the baby has left me so exhausted I haven't run in a week and probably won't until the 5K on Saturday.

Saturday should be quite interesting, but a lot of fun too. Hope to see you there!

  1. Hope your race went well. My husband and I ran the Badges of Honor 5k that Saturday. Anyone know of local 5ks in July and Aug?
