Race preview: Arbor Day Run 10K

WHERE ARE WE GOING?
Plano, Texas

WHEN?
Saturday, Nov. 10


WHY?
Arbor Day Run 10K

NO REALLY, WHY?
My 10K PR is weak and it's bugged me that I haven't really gone out of my way to fix it. Here is my first of two chances this month.


WHO ELSE IS GOING?
It would surprise me to see 200 starters. They've been in the 170s 2 of the last 3 years.

WHAT'S THE FORECAST?
It's looking rough: mid-60s, humid and very windy. The strong breeze from the south should make for a lot of negative splits.

HOW DO WE WIN?

The magnitude of my happiness will correlate to how far I go under my PR of 42:20. Given the conditions I'll probably be happy with 41:30 and save a sub-41 for my next 10K on Thanksgiving.
