Jazz hands!

I planted marigolds, a basil plant and a mint plant on Saturday. Hopefully I won't kill all of them.
Old age is when you move from illegal to prescribed drugs.
If you kill mint you are the worlds worst gardener, if you planted it in the ground I hope you put it in a container with the bottom knocked out or it will spread all over the place.
PBs since age 60: 5k- 24:36, 10k - 47:17. Half Marathon- 1:42:41.
10 miles (unofficial) 1:16:44.
Larry, you and I are running very similar times right now, though as you rebuild from your injury I expect you will be back ahead of me.

"Today I broke my record for most consecutive days lived!"
It's not until Saturday. Five more days to eat as much pasta as I can stuff in. Oh, and run, or something. Santa Ynez goes from the town of Santa Ynez, CA, through Los Olivos, then back down to Solvang through Ballard Canyon. I think I have the course as a public map in my log (creatively titled, "Santa Ynez Half.") Should be a pretty run through Santa Barbara County. I'll let you know how it is, maybe you'll do it next year?
Thanks, Larry. My exact splits are in my log entry. I really aimed for even effort. I lost a little time in a park ou run through but the effort stayed consistent the whole race. This is definitely one of the best races I've run from a pacing standpoint. There wasn't much left out on the course.
Really good splits, very consistent except for the Parkway area. Nice finish with a 7:59 1.1 (7:12M) , that is certainly nothing to sneeze at. Larry
I checked out the map and zoomed out to figure out where it was. The closest I've been to there is Morro Bay (except for Business travel to LA area. Hoping to be in Santa Cruz next March for a few days and then spend a few other days traveling around. Larry
It's kind of in the middle of nowhere, so it's pretty. Of course right now Santa Barbara is on fire so one of the roads into the Santa Ynez valley is closed... traffic going out tonight will NOT be fun. I'm hoping to get to the packet pickup before 8 (leaving LA around 5) but not exactly holding my breath. Ugh, I'm so nervous already. I've printed like a bajillion maps of the area, including one of the finish area with a big arrow that says, "YOU HERE AT 9AM" for my boyfriend. (The race starts at 7, I won't be there at 9).
Finished in 1:34:54 but shouldn't have really started as I have had a really bad cold for the last three days plus my leg played up, oh well I'm still alive and after the 10k I have next week end I will get back to basics and get some help with my leg. Towards the end my heart rate was getting lower because couldn't move my leg enough to raise my breathing, I hope that makes sense. How did anyone else do this weekend?
Great! I finished alive! 2:32:45, which is about what I was expecting. Race report is coming soon.
