4th of July

Anyone here doing a 4th of July race?

I'm doing the Celebration 5K in Jacksonville.
Hope to get 1st in my age group.

Nope. I'm going to be jogging on the treadmill at 12:00 min/mile.

But I go to the doctor on saturday. Might finally figure out what the fuck is wrong with me.

What is wrong with you?

I don't know. That's why I'm going to the doctor.

But for the past couple weeks I've been feeling very tired, my HR has been high, and I've been struggling to take a full breath.

Like 2 pounds...why? Do you think that could have anything to do with it?

But then again, I can lose 2 pounds by taking a shit, so i don't know.

Is it just me or is everyone here clueless lately?

Im doing a 10K tomorrow which really makes me feel weird. Im happy though because the 10K sort of has a relaxed pace it seems. But Im going at a 6.45 pace

6:45 pace is relaxed for you?

yeahh, i'm doing the Chileda Classic 5k on July 5th.

Same thing happened to me the week of champs. Even if you already feel you are, try eating more. Also, try perking up a bit. After I went through my weak phase, I felt like I was giving up. I decided that I was getting slower and for a few days I didn't care about dedication or striving for the best. Then I had a talk with my coach and she told me that no matter what happens in champs, she has full confidence in me and that she couldn't be more proud of me. 5 minutes after that I racing down the straight-a-way like my old self.

So, I'll be your coach. HXC, you're an awesome runner. I can tell from your posts that your dedicated and have a lot of knowledge about training ideas. You're smart to go to the doctor, and no matter what the end result is... I am, and I'm sure many other people on here are, proud of you for not giving up and being the best runner you can be. =))

&& to answer the question... I'm hitting the beach babiiee ! !

Peachtree Road Race 10k.
I'd absoutely love to break 42, but I really don't know how good of shape i'm in right now. I went 43:44 last year, so we'll see.

I'm racing Sunday. My only race this summer

im racing a 5k on the 4th. i was gonna try to go sub20, but i hurt my ankle 3 days ago, so now im not sure.
