Race for the Cure

So I beyond thrilled when I got an email from Will saying his work was putting together a team to run the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure. He was foolish to ask if I wanted to do it. Of course I want to do it! I have something to train for now!! It comes at a bad time in the sense that the whole house is getting over a bout of bronchitis but it will be okay. I am already feeling better and will take a few more days off from running before doing a very short but intense training session. The race is in 2 weeks and is only a 5K so I can totally do it, but I want to do it in 11 min miles. I feel embarrassed when I say what I want my pace to be considering it is some of my friends walking pace practically but I need to stop comparing myself to others and remember that 11 min miles is hauling ass for me at this point. So I am thrilled to be doing a race before the Iron Girl in September and feel even better that it is for a great cause.
