You know why I love you guys? Because I put something out there that I consider challenging and you all have my back and are the greatest support. Your comments never cease to make me smile, earning you an extra special thank you dance with a weird kissy face:
Photo from old place…new place photos coming soon!
But that means just one thing: I’m going to register for The 13th Annual City of Dublin Shamrock 5k Fun Run & Walk (whew – that name is a mouthful)! Big shout out to Layla for the recommendation
My goal? Beat my previous 5k PR. My strategy? Run until my eyes bleed. Sounds pretty solid if I do say so myself! Anyone else doing this race? If not, what 5k are you taking on soon?
Happy Running!
If you weren’t 3000 miles away from me I would totally sign up for that race and run with you!! I am glad you signed up and I hope you PR!
Good luck!! I’m running a 5K this weekend too – Shamrock Shuffle in Lawrence, KS! Glad you accepted the challenge, you’ll do great!
Good luck!! Rock that 5k! I’m doing a St. Pat’s themed race the following weekend 🙂 I hope Chickenface registered with you!!!
Oh man, good luck Page! You can totally do it. I just conquered my 5k PR this month because I was so sick of looking at it! I’m pumped to see you rock it.
that is an awesome face. you can do it! rip it to shreds!
Good luck! You can so totally rock this race!
That sounds like so much fun! Running ’till your eyes bleed is also an awesome race strategy 🙂 Good luck!
Alright – I think I’ve been inspired or brainwashed or both. I’m thinking about registering for a 5k on May 1 – the Rock-n-River. That should be enough time to get it together, right? I mean seriously – I DO NOT RUN. So I’m a little nervous about this. But. . . I want to give it a shot. My race strategy: run and not die. Any other advice is welcome.
p.s. – congrats PAGE on your passion for getting in one more race before Boston!
HAHA I totally LOVE that photo of you!! And you are totally gonna SMASH your PB! Your plan to run till your eyes bleed sounds like a good one! 😛
YES 5k race coming up too…BRING IT ON!! 😀
Yay, you’re going to smash your PR! I just wish I could see you do it. My plan is to finish my race, die, then recover and check my phone to see how you did. I predict Big Things!
Good Luck with the 5k! That’s awesome that you are taking on that challenge! I’m doing an almost 4 miler St Pat’s Day Dash in Seattle on March 13th, in a green tuxedo t-shirt because i’m just classy like that haha.
Eventhough short races aren’t my favorite, I know that the speed will help me in the long term. Good for you for signing up for the 5k! You’re going to rock it 🙂
Yay for a 5K! You know I love them! 🙂 My next race is next weekend, the 12th, and it’s actually a 10K. I am doing two 5Ks in April. Good luck!
I’m with everyone else on here, you are going to DESTROY your 5K PR! Looking forward to the bleeding eyes pics, haha
Good luck!!! Love the picture!
That sounds like such a fun race! Have an awesome time and kick your old PR’s ass! 🙂
congrats on the new goal!
Good luck!! I think it’s awesome that you signed up for one! I was convinced I hated 5Ks for the longest time (still don’t love them). I think it happened after college – I was so sick of running that I convinced myself I was awful at short distances and needed to start training for endurance events. But then on a whim, I signed up for a 5K in December and was actually surprised by how much fun I had! I didn’t have any pressure on myself and just enjoyed it (and then ended up doing better than I thought). Plus, they feel so short – it’s kind of amazing!
