Junk Food Runner: Race Goals

Race Goals

As usual I am getting more anxious and stressed out the closer it gets to the race. Today while we were walking around after the expo the back of my leg/hip started to hurt. Hopefully this is not a sign that it will give me issues tomorrow. If all goes well in the morning, these are the goals I am aiming for...

1. PR (sub-2:21.57)
2. Break 2:20
3. Sub-10:40 average

At my last race I met all of my goals. I don't want to be overconfident that I will meet them this time, but I'm hopeful I can accomplish at least one of them. I know this is probably my last "real" effort at a half until fall, so I want to make it count!

See you on the flip side...
