My next race is next weekend and looks to be fairly flat with at least one giant hill if I remember the course correctly.

I haven't used an elliptical in a while, but I've got a little bit of an incline on my treadmill and I think it helps.

I can never match my outdoor speed on the treadmill.

Good luck, and tell me how you did.

Knocked off 5 minutes off my previous time last night.

Biggest complaint about this color run was the log jam that kept getting created. There must have been about 200 or more people running in this event. It was also just shy of being a true 5k coming in at 2.99 miles.

My next 5k is in two weeks in what should be a smaller venue. Hoping to shave another minute off my time.
