Chase the Mayor 5K

This May 5th, my friend Megan and I are going to run a 5K in Provo. It's called "Chase the Mayor" because I guess the Provo city mayor will be running as well and he'll get a 60-second headstart in the race. Anyone who can beat his time gets a trophy or something. I think it's cute, but I won't be competing against the mayor in this race. I can only run 2 miles at this point, and not fast at that. It takes me about 45 minutes to cover three miles right now, so I've got to trim that time down. My goal is to run it in 35 minutes, which I know I can do eventually, but I'm not sure I can do it by the end of April. But I already bought my registration voucher, so I'm committed. As a bonus, because May 5th also happens to be Cinco de Mayo, all participants will receive a sombrero. So really, everyone's a winner in this thing.

Here's to running in May! Good luck to us!
