#nikefreeshield

#flatme setup for #rrcaclubchallenge tomorrow morning. The @dcroadrunners club singlet is ready and if it’s raining, the top may be covered up by the jacket at right, but then I’ve also got the club cap to signify my team. And I pulled out my old #nikefreeshield flats for my footwear. After not seeing much action for a long time, in the last few months these Frees have seen a lot of work (yep, it looks like another rainy race). I go to them whenever the racing conditions get wet. If the rain stays away I can always go back to the @altrarunning Escalantes that I have trained in all season; they’re in my bag, just in case.

This is a B race for me tomorrow, a benchmark to assess fitness for @cucb #cherryblossomtenmiler in 6 weeks. And with 6 weeks of training behind me, you could say this will be my midterm report card. The “A” goal would be a sub-70 time, probably out of reach tomorrow. The B goal is to be in the 72-73 range. C goal? At least hit the current @mcmillanrunning calculator prediction of a mid-75 time.
