What was I thinking? I must have been so bored over the weekend that when I got on line and checked out local races, I did not hesitate and signed up for the Pike's Peek 10K on 26 April. For years, I had conditioned myself to think that anything over 5K is a marathon! I haven't really done any training at all. The occasional Trekking from work to home could not be considered as part of my training. The Pike's Peek 10K (Rockville Pike) should I say is parallel to the Metro Red line and the first thing that came to mind is Rosa Ruiz. To refresh your memory, she ran the NY Marathon one year long time ago. Rather than running 26.2 miles, she hopped on the NY subway part of the way and got off close to the finish line. Needless to say, there were cameras to prove what she did. In addition, if you are an unknown runner, and took the subway, you have to strategically figure out how you should finish the race in relation to the Kenyans. Yes, she did! She came in before the Kenyans! Miscalculations if you would ask me.
On a second thought, no! Not for 10K! I'll crawl if I have to!
