Results

Shamrock Shuffle take three!

A great time was had by all!  The beer was flowing (Fat Tire!).  The food was plentiful.  And I'm hoping when results come out I will have PR'd.  Despite the rain (which actually subsided while we were running), the weather was actually pretty pleasant.

Getting ready to run in the rain.

The Start!

Back together for year three!

Did they have Fat Tire last year?

2015 Bockfest 5K

Yesterday I completed my first step to being a Christian Moerlein Beer Series Brew Hog. I still need to sign up for the other two races but I'll be doing that this week now that I saw people yesterday with their additional Brew Hog bibs.  Jealous!

I ran the entire course and was pretty proud of my time although not a PR.

We met at Monica's first and walked down to the start.

Then enjoyed our Bock specialty beers and Skyline chili dogs (not pictured but you know what they look like).

Visualization

I love this article.  It hits home on many of the points.

Make Every Run Easier

Number 21 describes exactly what I do when I'm intimidated by an upcoming run.

21. Visualize your run.Skiers, bobsledders and luge athletes have this one down. They do the course in their minds before heading downhill. It helps them relax and allows them to rehearse where they're going. Visualization also works in running–both in races and workouts. Gwen Heist of St. Charles, Mo., visualizes herself flying over the ground. "I also imagine myself racing the Kenyans," she says, "and trying to match their smooth style."

So this week, preparing for the Bockfest 5K I have been reviewing the route and elevation and comparing it to my neighborhood.

I got this!
