I’m running the Santa Monica Classic 5K on Sunday. Originally, I thought I would just aim to finish this race. No time involved. Well, I’m super competitive, especially with myself. So I’m really going to try my best to PR. My first 5K race was a month ago, and my time and PR was 33:21. It was HUGE for me because I came in under 35 minutes.
This time, I will be running without shoes and I hope to come in under 33 minutes.
To make this fun, I’d like to see your guesses on what my finishing time will be!
THE PRIZE:
A signature Jess-created dish with ingredients selected by you. You also get to pick the name of your dish and it will be featured, with a step-by-step photo tutorial, on Half of Jess.
HOW IT WORKS:
You get one guess at my time. Along with that guess, you can list three ingredients that will be the basis for the dish I will create in your honor. Also, please pick a name for your dish.
Example: 33:11. Garlic. Cilantro. Soy sauce. The Incredible Jess.
THE WINNER:
The person who’s guess is the closest to my actual finish time.
A few things to keep in mind:
I did a three-mile run on Wednesday. Finishing time was 30:45.
I did an intense leg workout after my run on Wednesday.
I am still sore from my leg workout.
I will not be running before Sunday.
NOW GUESS AWAY!
