      Yesterday, I ran the Mercedes Marathon in 3:49:48 and took 22 minutes off my previous personal best, Harpeth Hills Flying Monkey 4:11:20.  I missed qualifying for Boston by 4 minutes.  It is a bitter sweet victory.  22 minutes isn't bad, but 4 minutes isn't very close either.  A small victory, but a victory and I'll take itSmile

            Nearly a minute/mile quicker! Impressive!

            One day I decided I wanted to become a runner, so I did.

              Hey, thanks guys/gals.  It took everything for me to get that time.  I have to say I tried the whole time, and kept reminding myself about good form, etc.  Next time...

                today I managed to run on the treadmill nonstop for 2.12 miles (or 30 minutes, whatever sounds more impressive to you ha). I can run for 90 minutes nonstop outside but the treadmill is a battle for me.

                    I haven't visted my thread in a while (lots of great running going on I see!) because while I've been running it has not been very exciting or victorious feeling until today. 

                     

                    Most awesome run in a very, very long time!  New shoes.  Sunny, temps in the low 30's, no wind(major plus plus!) and dry, clear pavement along the entire route! 

                     

                    Ran faster, felt stronger and even my cranky patellar could not bring me down!

                     

                    Was it the new shoes?  The near perfect weather?  Running later in the AM than I usually do?  The fact that I wasn't on the treadmill?

                     

                    Whatever the case I'm so not complaining!

                      Longest run in over a year. 15.45 miles and it felt good. No death march involved Wink

                          First outdoor ride in over 2 weeks.  Overdo for some urban interaction with ice and no traction.

                            Long run if 13.97 miles in 2:00:04.  @ the 13.1 mile, 1:53.  16 minutes off BQ.  Not bad for a fairly easy run and with the elavation I run at.  Bring on the Eugene Marathon, Sea Level, I should have no problem qualifying for Boston.  And the Ice bath afterwards,  WOW!!!


                            Every Mile is a Gift

                              Had a nice tempo run with a group this morning, even though I ended up in "no-man's land" (i.e. not with the front two guys, but ahead of the rest of the group). 6.5 miles at 7:17 pace on a beautiful, clear morning.

                              Often injured, NEVER giving up.

                                Ran my first 5k ever!!! Woohoo!!!!
