Ate lots of tasty food.

Jan 1. 5m at White Rock Lake, Dallas Goals: weigh in 10lbs above normal, sub 30 minute but know 30:30 is more likely reality. 2011 running goal is to stay with bunny until May + break 1500 for the first time, finish Boston and hold my head up at the party afterwards. And ... Keep post more than just lurking on these threads.
Modifications to goal ---- get more sleep - miss first race of the year (DNS)
Skooter 2.5
Hell YEAH! Man, what a great race. Went out strong, and held myself to my goal pace, avoided going out too fast the first mile like I have the last 2 years, and smashed my goal (which I thought was unrealistic) by 20 seconds. I finally feel like I'm back in it. Here's to a great 2011!!
Met Forbin and Hannibal IRL,
1:19:40
Happy New year Everyone!
Goals?
Sat. Jan. 1 - Hannibal Granite - 10-mile - Hangover Classic - Louisville, KY - 58-ish (will be very weather dependant)
Huge fail, I thought even if I had a bad day I would break an hour...I was wrong. finished in 1:00:16.
On the plus side it was good enough for 6th overall, an age group win, and I met skootr IRL

Walt.RB 13.1m- Hangover Half, Albany NY. Goal: Start 2011 on page one of mileage chart
Done. Ran 7:30's as a tempo run....1:38: xx.
MTA to get rid of emoticon
I like running alone.
46:46
Was not DFL
A good way to start the year, 24:04 for 7th overall and 3rd in 40-49 AG. In comparison to some other New Year's races I've run, the weather was so good it felt like cheating. Had to be close to 50 degrees at the 10am start, and no wind to speak of. I'll take that any day of the year.

Nice running, Dawg!

Sucess for Salem 44:24 fail at Hangover. 1:12 was not expecting to run on the beach for a mile the sand moves and I was more worried about injury than I was about trying to hold pace. Had time banked before that never recovered and decied I wanted to live to fight another day. Dawg it was nice to see you. Next yr will skip the plunge and the hangover classic and just run salem so much nicer race.
"If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run."

Picked flowers. Ran 26:19, probably two minutes slower than last year. The four week taper may have been a little too long.
The tangents are moot.
Set the bar low. Crawl under it.

Ennay 10K Y2KXI Forest Grove, OR. 60-65 min Goal...run it at a comfortable easy pace. No faster than an hour no matter how good I feel that day. Hopefully no slower than 65, unless my friend shows up to run the 10K (I think he will run the 20.11K) and then run it at his pace which I think is still somewhere in that range.

WOOT! 1:04:42
I ran the first 4.5 miles with the friend but eventually I was getting cold when he was walking and I had to keep jogging along. Was as far from race pace effort as humanly possible.
I thought it was a personal worst, but there was the 10K when I was 5 months pregnant and had to stop to pee twice.
Growling a bit because seriously slow people showed up today. I probably, even in the shape I am in, could have taken home an AG award with just a smidgen of effort.

1-2-11 Shiver By the River 5k or 10k in Reading Pa 5k goal 22:50 10k 47:30 of course weather permitting. If it's anything like today I can shoot those goals out the window lol. Not sure why I'm even setting goals since I've been sick with a cold since last week. Guess I'm giving my cold notice!

Success! Had a blast! 5k's aren't meant to be blasts that I know however I am working on the pain thing. One of these days I'll figure out how to get the pain from racing and not from the idiotic things that happen while I'm warming up for said race.
Mile splits were 7:49, 7:26, and a nice 6:56 rolling in the last bit around 5:20 pace bringing my time to 22:43. Other than the pain that my shorts were causing me while riding up on my "injured" thigh and over dressing I felt great! Should have done the 10k however I really think I want to get the 5k thing figured out. Need to start racing at start and not the end.

This is the idiotic thing I did while warming up for race today. Hurts like a MF
