Planned off day.

I have a 10k planned for Saturday- an event I actually have to be at the volunteer/work, so I figured I'd run it as well.  It's just a local race in Tampa.  There are two guys who run the event every once in a while, both of whom are above my level (they are Olympic Trial Qualified).  Other than that it's usually a running-in-no-mans-land kind of situation.  Part of me hopes they both are there, but I don't think they will be since there is no prize money of any kind.  

I have a pretty meager PR to break of 34:31, which normally would be relatively easy to do.  However, the weather looks terrible- hot (86 degrees), humid (70%), isolated thunderstorms, and no cover.  The 18mph winds should be cute, too.  I also am having difficulty finding their course certification number, so it may not even count.  The positive energy eminating from me must be palpable.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, I promised myself I would do this more consistently.  So as long as it is an accurate course:

A goal 32:50, B goal 33:30, C goal <34:30, F >34:31

18 mph winds?!

Also, your F goal is pretty darn impressive. Stuart Scott would keep his eye on the prize, and just go for the PR! Good luck!
