Shattered your goal there! WTG! Thanks for the great RR.
That's no small feat, congrats! I hear the Dopey challenge is around $500.00. Dear old Dad better be sitting down when he goes to register!

That's the least of your expenses at Disney.
Nice first HM Kristi. A lot of first time racers go out a bit too hard and pay for it in the end so your experience in that regard is not uncommon. Just learn from it, as you should in every race, and apply those lessons next time. Great job.
Short term goal: 17:59 5K
Mid term goal: 2:54:59 marathon
Long term goal: To say I've been a runner half my life. (I started running at age 45).

Congratulations, Kristi! You did really good, and earned your right to ramble. What quick time you and your dad made on those hills. Love the family pictures!

Nice one, Kristi. Don't worry about your start, it is easy to get stuck in a pack and go out too fast. I bet we have all done that, at least I have. You will only get better from here.

Kristi - Awesome job on your first HM. I think it's even more awesome that your Dad is running with you. I think that would be my favorite part. Heck, I'm happy that my Dad is going to help me with some plumbing this weekend.
