Welcome to the blog. Good luck with your goals.

Thanks for the encouragement Burt. I run my first 5k this weekend.

Can't wait to hear about it. Make sure you enter it in as a race report and write all about it. That way all the speedy people on here can give you advice as needed.

Ogden is my favorite venue. Be sure to sign up early, registration starts October 1st, but there is a chance to pre-register this Saturday at Fort Buenaventura at some 'hit the dirt' event - from 4-8pm. You save money (from Active.com registration fees you'll avoid) and guarantee you'll get in!

Actually, it's 'Hurt in the Dirt' - http://www.goalfoundation.com/index.php/participate/hurt-in-the-dirt

I heard about the Hurt in the Dirt event, but have other commitments that day, so I will just try to register for the Ogden half as early as possible. Thanks for the heads up.

If I sign up, I have no choice but to train for it, right?

Amen to that - or waste your money...

How do you feel after your first 5k? Looks like you averaged a 10 min/mile pace even. Great job!

From daj on Sat, Jul 31, 2010 at 21:11:12 from 174.23.183.57

It was a ton of fun, which is surprising because I honestly don't really enjoy training. There was a brutal hill that felt like a 60% grade, but I'm sure it wasn't that bad.

Anyway, I loved the race, so that gives me something to look forward to in training.

Not a bad job at all for your first race. You're on your way.

Haven't been running for a week, thanks to other responsibilities and an injury.  I need to find a new running time.
