Quote from runnerclay on 7/4/2008 at 9:54 PM:Congrats on your first race. Distances will get larger and pace times smaller. Enjoy! Your future trail sounds great. OK, I can not actually hear her. 
just because somebody runs long races doesn't mean they are more advanced than runners who run shorter races. i just hate it when people run a marathon in 5 hours and act like they've accomplished all there is to accomplish in the sport of running. the next logical step after a 5k race is, in my opinion, a faster 5k, not a 10k. |

Ha! Yeah, I was a little tentative to come over, but I recognized you from you 4th of July photos. If you weren't with your husband, I probably wouldn't have realized who you two were. Pretty random
I hope that you two enjoyed your runs. It is a beautiful day! |
