Ilene....would you please add an 8K race list of race distances. It may be the only time I'm able to get in on the "best time" action....at least for a short while. Big grin

Bethany Freedom Run 8K.....AG 45-49.......evryday...42:58 Maybe 8K is too close to the 5 mile race....in which case, nevermind! Big grin

Thanks

Apparently I might be in for a 4 mile age group 50-54 best with a 31:08 Shocked

Not too bad of a time but still it's mostly but default. Wink

Courage ! Do one brave thing today...then run like hell.

Illene - I'm not overly thrilled with it, but could you put me in for my 10K on July 4th - 42:36 Angry

Hopefully I'll better that at the Beach to Beacon on August 2nd! Wink

Thanks MTA - 50-54 AG

Ilene, I see that you've added an 8k category--good idea. It's more commonly raced than the 5 mile; at least around here it is. I have two 8k's this year. One was a 31:25 that I converted to 5-mile equivalent (31:37) and listed under 5-mile cateogry here. The other was a 31:28 that I ran more recently. You could either delete the 5-mile entry and record it as 31:25 under 8k, or just leave it there and record the 31:28 under 8k. Are you injured? I see were back in the groove for a few months but haven't run the last couple weeks. If so I wish you a speedy recovery. I see a bunch of new PR's this year. Yes

Age 60 plus best times: 5k 19:00, 10k 38:35, 10m 1:05:30, HM 1:24:09, 30k 2:04:33

Jim!

yes I am injured, nothing serious and I hope to start back running next weekend. Doc says one month, but of course that means 3 weeks in runner's terms. Big grin

Hi Ilene, How about adding 50 mile? I'm sure my time will be beat but 9:10:59 at the Finger Lakes Fifties. It was good enough to get me 2nd for women and first Female Master. Thanks, Kelly

My two have been 14 and 15 hours! thanks too to ilene. did you get out for your first trail event already. hope no face or other plants! Big grin

Still working on th e race report and will probably post it on the trail runner or ultra thread. Finger Lakes Fifties is in Hector, NY about 15 miles west of Ithaca in the Finger Lakes National Forest. Not really near any lake-ran by a couple ponds though. Big farm country-parts of the course cut through cow pastures where you have to make sure you close the gate behind you so the cows don't get out. Unfortunately, there weren't any cows out during the race- I was bummed-I was looking forward to running through cows! Big grin

WOW, a 12 K division!! even though it was technically 2007, can you put me in for 1:10:11 for a 12K I ran in Dec 2007?? F40-44. I am proud of that race, because of the brutal hills. Thanks!
