Countdown to Red Shoe Shuffle

Well the countdown begins for the Red Shoe Shuffle 5K in Baltimore.  This race benefits the Ronald McDonald House in the state of MD.  Originally when I was looking for a race in Baltimore this fit the criteria of 1.)  Being close 2.)  Getting an under armour shirt 3.)  Being a smaller local race.  Now that it's approaching I'm glad that I'm not just running for a time, but the proceeds actually go towards benefiting a good cause. 

The race is an out and back and loops around M&T stadium.  The first half will most likely be fast due to the downhill and well all the benefits of that downhill run will be eliminated on the second half:)  I mapped the course on mapmyrun.com and I don't really think this is a true 5k...but it's the first one of the season  and who is counting?  6 Days, but still trying to get in all the necessary training for the MD Half, which is a month away. 

Finally, today marks my first starbucks since giving it up on Ash Wednesday...I also gave up dessert.  Today I went and resumed my normal routine and got one prior to work.
