It was a cold 19 degrees downtown but we had lots of sunshine. The roads were dry and with the sun shinning I was in a good mood for a race. The undulating course was a challenge for us runners and was not a course for a PR.
My goal for todays 5K race was to run it hard and use the finish time to calculate my training paces for the Cleveland 10K in May. I will use the famous F.I.R.S.T 12 week schedule to train for the race.
Now that I have a 5K race result I can start to train like a runner.
Race results: Chili Bowl Classic 5K
Oh, and I did try the veggie chili after the race. It was spicy with peppers and not bad tasting.

#1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations, that pace is outstanding!
wow, great run!
Nice job, you rock!!! It was a beautiful day for a run. I thought the chili was pretty good. I got the veggy, it tasted more like soup to me, hubby got the meat kind and I tasted it, now it was GOOD!
Papa Louie,
We have a similair race in my neighbourhood where they serve chili afterwards. Very good stuff :)
Thanks for the recommendation on the training plan. I will check it out.

congrats on the #1. man, you rock sir...
based on that time, you probably do olympic tris around 2:30 which is outstanding...
good luck
Congrats on a great race. I'm envious of all the Chili race reports that I'm eager to get to Malachi already!
