Gobble Jog

JR and I ran the annual Gobble Jog in Marietta this morning.  It was a bit brisk when we got there but it was a great temperature by race time.  They were saying over the PA system that they were expecting 4,000+ people to run the 5k.  Personally I wanted to finish in 26:30 since my last 5k was 26:50.  The course was not too hard other than a long constant hill from about mile 1.75 to 2.30 or so.  I had to walk twice in the last mile but was able to still finish in 25:30 setting a new PR and making it harder to set a PR next time.  To celebrate I am going to pig out on Turkey and all the fixins in a couple of hours.

I am updating the “Marathon Training Schedule” static page here on my blog as I work through the training. So far so good.  I joined a gym last night and the owner was kind enough to do a 4 month contract at her 12 month standard rate since I only needed the membership for the marathon training.  If you need a gym in the Cedarcrest/Seven Hills/Bentwater area then I would recommend Anytime Fitness (listed as Acworth for some reason) based on my experience with the owner so far.
