Race updates!
July 24, 2011: Run for the Remedy 5k.
One of the reasons I like running is because most of the time, races benefit some sort of organization. Run for the Remedy benefited the Children's Leukemia Foundation. I always like to push myself harder in these races because I know that how much I'm "hurting" or "suffering" it's nothing compared to what they're going through.
Race time: 27.20, PR'd by 3 minutes!
August 6, 2011: Advokate 10k
This race was also for a cause. "A
dvoKate is a volunteer organization supporting pediatric brain tumor prevention and reseach, as well as other childhood-related causes. It was established to honor the memory of 6-year-old Kate Hrischuk of Rochester, MI, who lost her courageous battle with an intrinsic brain stem glioma in early 2007. advoKate was founded by Kate's parents whom have taken on the mission to raise awareness about the issue of limited available research on the disease that took their daugher's life. With the help of event participants and sponsors, advoKate has, so far, raised nearly $50k for the cause. For more information about Kate and her story, visit www.caringbridge.org/visit/katehrischuk" Taken from www.advokaterun.org.
The race itself was hilly, I ran way too fast in the beginning almost an 8:30 pace and I was running 4 and 40's. It was probably the worst first half I've ever raced.
Race Time: 1.02, PR'd by 5 minutes!!!
