on Sept 1, 2012 in Saratoga

So I continue on my quest to do at least one 5K each month. And I plan hope to get faster with each one.

I actually only signed up for this one because it had a Groupon and only cost $10. I have never run this race but have run many in Saratoga (though the courses are all different.)

This one starts at the Warming Hut in the park so the route may be similiar to the Run for the Horses 5K that I did several years ago.

(Course Description: Starts at Warming Hut, travels down Avenue of Pines, let up route 9 passing the Dance Museum. Then course continues through a back trail in Saratoga State Park, exiting at Gideon Putnam Road. Loop around Theater, then head back towards Route 9 trail with nursery on your right. Ends at Warming Hut.)

Ave. of the Pines

MY RACE GOALS:

1. Have fun.
2. Finish.
3. Feel good during the race.
4. Run the whole thing
5. Only walk at water stop(s).
6. Run faster than my previous 5Ks this year (beat 30:58 ).
7. Run faster than my RFTH 5k time (beat 30:40)

(And they are in order of importance.)

Happy Running!  Do you have any racing plans for the weekend?
