But while I was searching, I noticed there's a 5k series that a college is putting on that has 3 different 5k races on Tuesday evenings in July and August. It's $50 for the series or $20 for each race. And I have to admit.... I'm intrigued.
I've never ran a series of races before. And I know racing a 5k during marathon training isn't all that beneficial. But I'm wondering if the 5k races could be my speed work substitute on those weeks. Hmmm. I also think running a few 5ks a couple of weeks apart will remind me what running really hard feels like, and also serve to remind me that it won't kill me. Mental toughness points, if you will.
Thoughts?
And now some throw back pics to the summer I did 5 5ks in a four week span.

After spacing out races for all these years, it's strange to think about to high school when we raced on Thursdays and Saturdays most weeks. We ran only 2.5 miles (my goodness, that sounds so short these days), but we raced! So interesting to look back at now...I can't imagine racing two 5ks week after week!
