A Sweet Deal on Foster City 10-Miler/5K

2015 is shaping up to be the year of apocryphal distances. I was lamenting recently about how I really wanted to run a road half sometime between Thanksgiving and mid-February, but there don't seem to be many nearby that fit into my schedule super well. Then recently I got an email about the Foster City Ten Miler on January 18. No, it's not a half, but it's in the ballpark more or less, and would at least give me some sense of where I am 6 weeks out from NVM. I was getting ready to register last week when I came across Jen's post on the same race where she posted a discount code.

The prices are $50 for the 10-miler & $30 for the 5K for another two days (the prices go up on 12/1, I think), so if you act now, you could get the 10-miler for $40 or the 5K for $25, which is pretty reasonable. No, it's not a half, but it's the closest I'll get to one until after NVM, and I'm actually kind of excited about running a 10-mile race for the first time.

I'm not sure yet what my goals will be, but most likely it will be either 1) run at marathon pace / effort just for the practice, or 2) actually try to run it as fast as possible, knowing I won't *really* be in race shape for that distance, just to see what happens. We'll see when we get closer.
