My first 5K

When I subscribed for the Carlsbad 5000 at the Tinker Bell half expo I swore it was my first 5K. My first race ever was a 10K from there I jumped straight to half marathons and fell in love with lucky number 13 (point one).

But, it turns out I ran a 5K on fourth of July two years ago! The thing is, it was a last minute run with a friend so I didn’t pre-register or train or really consider it anything but a time to hang out with Susan.

I completely forgot until today! My brain doesn’t work sometimes, good thing I have the blog to remember stuff for me.

Well, let’s still call this my first 5K considering that that race wasn’t timed so I have no idea how I did!

I have 6 weeks until my first 5K. I don’t plan on this becoming a reoccurring distance so I want to have a good race and leave it at that.

After way too much time researching plans (I get off on this in a sick way) I made a decision to combine a few and mostly center it around the Hal Higdon 5k and half Marathon training programs. I have a 10 miler and a few halfs coming up after this so I need to keep the distance on the higher side. 

If we’re being sincere I really haven’t stuck to a training program considering that my first half marathon, so the goal is to stay on track.

(I switch the days because I’m mostly a LR on Saturday girl.)

As I have no idea in any way what pace I must be running for this short distance I used the McMillan Running Calculator to help. It said my 5K pace must be about 7:23. apparently it thinks I’m part cheetah because there is no way my orange ass can go that fast.  (image source)

I suspect I’m a lot more slow twitch than fast twitch muscle, so I’m going to have to mess around with the paces to find my delighted pace.

Get it? delighted Pace?

The race is April 1st, so we’ll see if the joke’s on me.

In food news, I ate a pita pizza for dinner after my favorite dinner question got too lots of of us talking about it. I love pizzzzzzaaa!

Now there’s watermelon on my computer and Ben just got home from work.

Shrek ya later.
