Nice and Easy

Out for a nice, easy three miles this morning. Tomorrow I'll get in a long run.

I've been looking at Rochester-area running groups/clubs on the internet. One particular group interests me. They require members to work at a certain number of events/races which are sponsored by the club as well as represent the club in a certain number of races. They also have an event called the "Tour de Pain." This is a series of races on a Thursday night. It starts at 6pm with a 5K cross-country run. At 7pm, all participants race in a 400 meter dash (I don't know if enough people race to require heats). At 8pm, everyone races in a one-mile run. It sounds like a lot of fun, in a very painful way. It must be pretty popular, since it's now in its eleventh year. I don't know if I'm going to be in any kind of shape for it this year, but who knows? By late August I might be able to handle something like this.
