Last Minute 8K Cross Country Race

>> Saturday, November 01, 2025

This morning I decided to register for a race tomorrow:


Notice the 11:48 a.m. registration for a race less than 24 hours in the future.

It was on my mind, but it wasn't any sort of "A-race," so I put off signing up in case something came up. But after lots of Halloween junk food over the last few days and an easy run yesterday, I feel like I'm set to go.


Easy run yesterday morning. Notice the 3 faster "pick-ups:" a sign of a pre-race run.

I'm not going to kill myself at this race. I don't have any real goals. I'm treating this like a tempo run as a way to get in a hard 5-mile effort. I did this race a few years back, but I'm making it a point NOT to look back at that race report and instead just going as hard as I can this year (knowing that I was in better shape a few years ago, so I'm not wanting to try to keep up with that pace and then die half way through those hills).

Check back for a race report shortly!
