Race Day Tomorrow

Tomorrow is race day. I have the Lincoln Tunnel Challenge 5K in the morning. There should be about 3,500 people running between the 2 heats (sub-25:00 and over-25:00). I ran the Rutgers Big Chill in December and they had over 7,000 people, so tomorrow should be a piece of cake! The race tomorrow is benefiting the Special Olympics and they raise a ton of money for a really worthy cause. That really is the great thing about running in 5K races (or 10K, halfs, or any race). Every race is run in support of a charity or organization. Each race draws competitors vying for first place, a specific time, a personal record, and even those who just want to finish. Regardless, we're all out to help some truly great causes. I'm shooting for 31:00 tomorrow, but with 3,500 entries, you never know. I'll see you at the finish line. Until then, Run fast, Run hard, Run smart. -Mike
