  • Training for a 5K? or 10K? Training for a 5K? or 10K?

    • From: momma
    • Description:

      With the Daily American 10K only a few months around the corner, I thought it would be a good time to get started training, and I had hoped to put a training guide on the dailyamerican.com/10k web page... but that hasn't happened.  I've run into some difficulty obtaining permissions to use anyones calendar.  So here's my advice to you if you are interested in running or walking the race this year, make sure you train properly.  

      --of course, you should consult with your health care provider before beginning any exercise regimin...

      --then google the training program you want to do "training for a 5k run" or walk or 10k.  ... and look over the schedules that come back to you. I found a few great ones from some of the reputable runners sites, that suggest running 2-3 days per week, with a day off in between to do other type of training... but maybe you aren't interested in running the race to win it, but rather prove something to yourself.... then there are schedules out there for that to.

      The race is a little over 100 days away, so there is still time, but get out there and begin to train... :)

  • Citizen's 5K Citizen's 5K

    • From: Mommy_Maria
    • Description:

      I ran in the Citizen's Helping Citizen's 5K this morning. I was going to take it as an easy run since I have my high school class reunion tonight, but the competition got the better of me. It was a cooler morning, maybe about 62 degrees. There wasn't much sun. A few of my classmates were running it too. There was also a bride and groom (from my Running Club) who are getting married at 3pm today. She wore a veil and a Bride shirt. He had a Groom shirt. They ran it together and held hands across the finish. It was so cute!

      The course wasn't too bad. There were hills but hey, it's Western PA...I am getting used to them. I enjoyed it a lot. It went through campus and to a park, where we did one lap around a 1/2 dirt track and then up a steep hill. After that, it wound down through a park and back into campus. I had a pretty fast start, doing my first mile in a little under 7 minutes. Not sure about my other split because the course was mis-marked. I had 2.2 on my GPS when I hit the 2 mile mark on the course.

      So, my (previous) PR was 24:44 and last week, I missed it by THREE FLIPPIN' SECONDS. This week, I beat it by THREE WONDERFUL SECONDS! My time was 24:41!!!! I am thrilled:) I placed second in my age group (30-39), which was a marble desk set with pen.

      I ran in the Hoodlebug 5K today, in Homer City, PA.

      It was a HOT day here. The race was set for 6pm so I was figuring it would be a little cooler by the start, but that wasn't the case. It was 85 and humid as can be. The race organizers were expecting around 100 people, but the final number ended up being around 170. It is part of the Triple Crown Series for my running club, so even though it is a small race, it is very competitive. All the elite runners from the club are there. I really wanted to prove myself as a serious competitor so I decided this would be a PR race for me.

      I had run the course last week during my LSD, so I knew what to expect. It was fairly level with 2 longish hills. Neither one was very steep - just long. It seemed like a good course for a PR.

      We started out right at 6pm. My first mile was 7:44. I was feeling good. The second mile was the one with the hills, but my second mile split was 15:30, so 7:14 for that mile. What?!?! A negative split?!?!? The last mile was a little rough. There was a kid (maybe 12-13 years old) who knew nothing about race etiquette and he kept sprinting ahead of me and cutting me off. I had to slow down to avoid tripping over him. I was so mad!

      I came in with a time of 24:46 and my PR was 24:44. I totally would have done it if it hadn't been for that kid. I ended up placing third in my age and got a medal. I literally cried as soon as I crossed the finish line though because I was *that* close to my PR.

      All in all, it was a well organized and fun race. Thanks to the Indiana Roadrunners for organizing it:)

  • Dormont Dash 5K Dormont Dash 5K

    • From: Mommy_Maria
    • Description:

      I ran in the Dormont Dash 5K this morning. Here is an article about this race:

      http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/news/pittsburgh/s_630748.html

      It was one of the toughest courses I have encountered so far. It was hills, hills, and more hills. My friend, Bernadette, ran it too and after the race, we shared the same thought - Every time we turn, it's another hill!

      I have been doing some hill training, so I was able to keep a steady pace on most of the hills. One of them; however, was so tough that I started to walk a little bit. Just then, someone tapped me on the shoulder as they passed and encouraged me to keep going. I really needed that and ended up picking up the pace in the last mile.

      My time was 25:26 which was fourth in my age division. Sadly, that means no medal today, but I am still happy with my performance and hope that Dormont continues to host this race for years to come.

  • Obediah Cole Father's Day 10K Obediah Cole Father's Day 10K

    • From: Mommy_Maria
    • Description:

      This was my first 10K, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Of course, I obsessed over what time I should shoot for and what playlist I should use. I also looked up the weather no less than 10 times over the past week. It was 68 degrees at race time, with just a little bit of sun. Looked like a perfect day for a 5K - I just had to double that - No problem, right? LOL...

      The race was pretty disorganized. I could barely hear the announcements and no one seemed sure of where the starting line was. Luckily, I found the right spot for the start of the race and was in the first half of the crowd at the gun start. My friend, Bernadette, started right near me, but I had already warned her that I wasn't going to be able to pace myself with anyone but myself. I had to be "in the zone".

      I started off with a little bit of a faster pace than I had originally planned, but I had so much adrenaline pumping that I couldn't help it. At the one mile mark, there was a guy with a timer who said "4:55" as I passed. I knew that couldn't be right. I looked down at my GPS and it said 7:55. I heard a few people yelling out, 'You are three minutes off, dude". Pretty funny.

      The first 2 miles were flat. I saw the 5K turnaround and actually thought to myself that it seemed too early to turn around. Looking back, that is surprising because I am so used to the 5K. At the 2 mile mark, there was a steady uphill climb and then a turn onto a bridge. After that, we made our way through an office complex and onto a sand and gravel trail. That was challenging.

      There was SO MANY water stations. I took a swig at three of them and then poured the rest on my head. The sun came out at about mile 4.5 which felt a lot worse than it was. The cold water definitely helped.

      When I saw the 5 mile marker, I decided to sprint. It was a little difficult because that was around the same area that the walkers and 5K runners were coming in to their finish. I did a lot of dodging and a few puddle leaps (from the crazy rain we had the other night), but I managed to make it in.

      My time was 53:51. I feel really good about it, since I was trying to get under an hour and my "pie in the sky" goal was 55 minutes.  There was 38 finishers in my age division and I was #11.

      I ran in the Daily American 5K in Somerset, PA on Saturday morning. It was a GREAT morning - I couldn't believe how many people came out for this event. The race started and ended with a lap around the track and the spectators were really enthusiastic. The course was mostly flat for the first mile and had two large hills, at about 1.3 miles and 2.4 miles. I knew this wasn't going to be a PR course. We were leaving for vacation directly after the race too, so I didn't want to push it too hard.

       

      Emily and Caleb wore their "My Mommy is faster then your Mommy" shirts:

      It was nice to have my biggest fans there:

      I finished with a time of 25:45, which was third place in my age. I was only 15 seconds behind second place for my age, so I was wishing I had pushed just a little harder.

      Thanks Daily American for a FUN race and a wonderful day!
