Sorry it didn't go as well as you'd hoped but overall 3rd female??? That is awesome! Congrats. And Happy Birthday!
Well, good news and bad news! Good: 3rd overal female so I won my first trophy! Bad: I think I was a couple seconds short of a PR. I messed up my Garmin so I not 100% sure, but I think I came in at 23:01 or so. I know I lost a couple seconds grabbing a prize off Scuffy's back ($10 gift card to Dick's...score!) and a couple more when my music stopped playing in the first mile, so I guess I could have PRd by a few seconds but not many. The truth is, my legs just didn't have it today and I faded pretty badly the last mile..bummed! I will do a RR later but for now, DH and I are headed for breakfast and to celebrate my birthday. Oh, he PRd by 51 seconds and won his age group!! Have a great day Donuts!!

Good morning! 7 miles at the track this morning. Decided on a marathon pace run. Ran a w/u lap and then the next 6 at 8:46, 8:52, 8:47, 8:47, 8:47, and 8:39. Pretty happy with my pacing. I was inspired by all my friends running Boston on Monday. So excited for them!
AmiK: Congrats on the trophy! Happy birthday! Oh, and congrats to DH too! It's a great day in the AmiK house!
onemile: Taper madness setting in yet?

Far from a PR but I raced without albuterol for the first time in a 5K. I was coughing and phlegming all throughout but made it without an attack. It was 84F and 74 dewpoint, so the charts say it was close to 102F. Why did I do it? Ha!
27:22 and 4th in my AG.

AmiK - great time especially with the wind conditions. Trophy and placing is a win fo shizzle!!!!! Happy birthday.
PR's : HM 1:51:15 - 5K 21:27
ANOTHER day of no miles. I feel like warmed up manure. I tried last night and lasted .79 miles before my body slapped across the cheek for trying.
I am waaaay over this $#\¥!
Thanks Roll, but I came nowhere near your awesome time!! Guess I will have to take down our HM PR! I am sorry you are still sick!!! I just took a tequila shot for you
HM PR is on
The tequila shot comment made me smile and then shiver
D - nice job on the 5k in those conditions
Mdawg -very nice MP run! I am actually not having too bad of taper madness yet. 1 week to go!
Was Cbus's half marathon today? Any updates??
I did an additional 2 miles and heavy weights tonight. I am still coughing from this morning, but the congestion has lessened. This is why I barely ever do any speedwork. Too much after workout congestion.
I have not seen any updates on Cbus.
Smashy!!!
Hey all,
Decided not to do a shake out run today. Took a nap instead. The race starts tomorrow morning at 8AM. It's about a hour and a half drive. So it might not be until noon before I can post my update.
Ami, congrats on take 3rd place! That's awesome. Do you get a special medal for placing?
PRs: 21:35 (5K); 1:46:46 (HM); 4:30:46 (FM)
Oh I was thinking your race was today! Good luck tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing how you do!

Amik - Good Job on your race! That goes out to your DH also/
Cbus - Best of luck to you once again! Leave it all on the course!
Onemile - Sounds like you are holding up well through taper. Yout training has been awesome and you should be very confident.
Lots of running around with DW yesterday and I have some summer projects. Have to install a water softener most importantly. Got some basil planted yesterday to keep pesto in the fridge through the symmer.
Will wake up and get a few miles done on the treadmill tomorrow morning. I will be really happy to get these legs moving again (not behind the lawn mower).
PRs...5K - 20:36, 4mile - 26:15, 13.1 - 1:32, 26.2 - 3:42
Just Run!!!
