Drake Relays 8k

The Drake Relays 8k race went quite well. I set a new PR of 56:18 with help of my good friend Kelsey. I think we pushed each other just enough. Then we after everybody finished, some people in the group ran the half marathon, we went down to the Hessen House and started drinking German beer like all good runners.

The Drake Relays race is a really fun one. It's well put together and I really like the distance for an early spring race. I hear that they're bumping it up to a 10k for next year, so I'll have to make sure I'm ready for the extra 1.2 miles next. 

That's about it for now. Get ready for the next post though, because it will be an assessment of how well my progress has gone in the 1st third of 2012. I've been dreading writing that one because I haven't quite done everything I've wanted to do.

  1. Yes, all good runners drink beer. Need those carbs!

  2. Beer = Happy! I love beer, but drink it seldom, and in limited quantities. It's usually as a reward, like post-race or post-super hard workout (predetermined).

    I share your fear of evaluation of my year to date. But, hey, the truth shall set you free...the part that's left off of that quote is, 'after it ticks you off!'
