Running For Hot Chocolate
Disclaimer: I received a free entry into the Hot Chocolate run San Francisco as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review find and write race reviews! Chocolate. I love it. Dark chocolate, chocolate with hazelnuts, hot chocolate - I really have never found chocolate I don't love. How could I pass up the opportunity to participate in the Hot Chocolate race in San Francisco? The answer is, I couldn't. It's a good thing that I signed up this year too, because we recently found out that my husband and I are moving to Portland (more on that later)! This will be my last local race in the Bay area. Plus - check out that awesome medal!
Training for the Hot Chocolate race
The Hot Chocolate race has a 5k and a 15k option. I chose the 15k with big plans to train well and crush this race. But, alas with moving and everything that is come up in life recently, I chose to put training on the back burner. Could I have trained better for the race, absolutely. But I did not, and now Sunday will be a test of my mental strength to knock out this 9.3 miles. But hey, with chocolate waiting for me at the finish I am happy to be running!
I have still been running, but it has been sporadic training to say the least. 3-5 mile runs here and there, with some weight training mixed in. I'll make it to the finish, but it will be far from my best time.
