A New Week, New Goals

Wow, about 1 month until my first race (the Melon Dash 5k as Town Lake). I am confident that I will do fairly well, finish in a decent time so my focus is on the 10k at the end of September. My long run this coming weekend is 7 miles meaning more than 10k (6.2 miles), but the more comfortable I am with distance, the easier I should find the shorter races. I am starting to look more at my nutrition. I need to increase my complex carbs. I eat a lot of protein already, so more pasta please:) I'm looking for more varied locations to run, so may look for a different location this weekend. Any ideas, let me know.
