Loooove Car...Sounds like you had a great weekend!! <br />Loooove Caribou! Haven't been since we moved here due to budgetary constraints, but once that changes I'll be going there more often!!<br />I don't really mind 5Ks, but I haven't done one in a while and none at all since I started racing longer, so I might have to re-evaluate my stance on them after the fact.<br />We always crammed all 5 of us in to 1 hotel room on family trips. I refused to share a bed and ended up in a blanket pile on the floor. Between that and some earplugs, I think I was the only person who slept well sometimes! ;)<br />Have a great week--good luck with the full time!LindseyAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321908819892607557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635823026230026813.post-42436101951430140972011-02-01T10:26:55.745-06:002011-02-01T10:26:55.745-06:00Love

I hope the wk goes well for you. <br /><br />Yikes, only 12 ounces of coffee, I'm impressed! I'm limiting my diet soda habit to one a day, but coffee?? some say it's good for you.

I do think they make an excellent tempo training run even when you're not going all out in them. Plus, it's easier to convince my friends to join me for a day of racing fun when it's a 5k and not a marathon...<br /><br />PS- running in a mask might make me quit the sport. And that's saying a lot...Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18364815194932440410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635823026230026813.post-20554605861037129632011-01-30T23:58:06.811-06:002011-01-30T23:58:06.811-06:00Oh the joy of traveling :) hotel rooms are so fre...Oh the joy of traveling :) hotel rooms are so freaking dry it is ridiculous! sounds like a good weekend with the whole family though!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06757049962850570389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635823026230026813.post-36759072178544057722011-01-30T23:46:19.100-06:002011-01-30T23:46:19.100-06:00Your hotel room experience sounds vaguely familiar...Your hotel room experience sounds vaguely familiar.....to my every night! haha.<br /><br />OK, hairpin turns do suck. <br />So do wet leaves and narrow places without passing room. <br />I am SO glad I have elbows sometimes ;)<br /><br />You WILL drop some time just for getting out there again- And i still think the sub 20 could be in no time, if you give it another shot.<br /><br />I would have had about 40 oz of coffee if I were on vacation (per day).

But I am older than you so you're probably on the 'correct' learning curve :P<br /><br />Good for you for seeing the good in the venerable 5K. You are such a quick runner, with a little focus I'll bet you could turn that weakness into a bona fide strength!<br /><br />I think I always choose blogging over laundry ;-)XLMIChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268964638359962511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635823026230026813.post-31431447568087016132011-01-30T22:51:24.566-06:002011-01-30T22:51:24.566-06:00My best 5k time(20.19)was at a turkey trot on Than...My best 5k time(20.19)was at a turkey trot on Thanksgiving and I forgot to charge my watch the night before. I just ran for "fun." Seriously? No, but I did run by feel and it hurt...but it was my best time. Now I'm trying to plot how I can beat that time. But seriously, I don't want to try. 5ks are SO much work, I need a good three mile warm up!!<br />Congrats!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00129091073767399081noreply@blogger.com
