The 5K on last weekend was postponed due to heavy snowfall in Columbia. (It virtually never snows in Columbia, so this was quite an event. My younger daughter is 3 years old, and this was the first time she has ever seen snow.) The race is rescheduled for next weekend, which sucks big time. I'm still not sure how I can participate. I feel strong and prepared. Even though I woke up with a headache on race day, later I ran 8 miles at sub 8-min pace, which is pretty good. I guess I had to run the frustration out of myself.
My tentative race schedule for the first half of the year:
4/3/2010: Resurrection Run 5k. This will be the race where I plan to reach ~20:30.
5/22/2010: Going the Extra Mile 5k or
5/29/2010: Jailbreak 5k. The former has the advantage that it is the same course as this weekend's run. Of course in case I can actually participate. This will be the race I might have a chance to go sub-20, although it is almost more likely than not that something will delay the progress.
Most people work on the sub-20 5K for several years, so even if I don't reach it this year, it is not a tragedy.
