run, zoe, run!: I NEED to Race

I NEED to Race

Or at least run in a race. My speed is still missing. I completely sprinted on the treadmill for 30 seconds...and my "sprint" was a lackluster 7:30 min. mile pace. POOEY.

Perhaps a Valentine's day fun run? Hey PNW'ers, any suggestions?

LookingUpAgain said...: Good luck finding a race :) All races are "closed for the season" around here until April. Glad you're feel up to sprinting again. Goober might grow up to be a racecar driver with how fast that jogger will be going :)

Half-marathon training started today for me :) Wish me luck!; January 7, 2011 3:31 PM
