We will be getting up bright and early tomorrow morning to go over to Lakeland for the first race in the annual Watermelon Series put on by the Lakeland Runners Club. The Watermelon is a series of four 5K races spread over two months. The cost is only $5 per race or $15 if you pay for the series up front making for great training races or for somebody wanting to do a race for the first time. Awards are handed out at the end of the series for overall and age group winners based on cumulative time from all four races. I was first in my age group last year.
My goal for the series is to not go all out and practice starting slow (about 6:10 pace for first mile) and run faster each mile after.We'll see how that works out!
