BFFL Best Friends For Life

There's a local race here in town that I will participate in this weekend. Family Fun Run I've run it a couple of times, last year, I was scheduled to run it, but the day before the race, I was up in Huddart Park doing some trail runs, when I fell and sprained my ankle. I tried to tape up my ankle but the pain was too intense, so I scratched the race. This year, I plan on being more careful up at Huddart, in fact, I am not going to do the same trail. I usually don't run 5k's, but this one has a nice pancake breakfast afterwards included in the admission, and with the prices was they are in Hillsborough, this is quite a bargain.

I was playing around with Map My Run and came up with this link for the run. Tiny Url

Two years ago, I ran a 20:25 for the 5k. I hope my time this Sunday will be slightly faster. I will be able to start up in the front this year, away from the kids as they tend to get in the way :) The course starts off going down a slight grade, then meanders around some hills. The 10k is just a double loop of the 5K, so, that doesn't really thrill me. I will also get to try out my new 305 with the super sensitive SERF III chipset. . So far, and I'll probably write about this later, the unit is impressive. I've run the hills of Huddart, and have not lost signal up there. It's also very nice to have the feedback of the heart rate. I guess I have some reading up to do on how to train via heart rate.

Ok, that's it for now.
