Feeling the growl again
Certified - unfortunately no. Mapped it twice and came up with 3.08 both times. So looks to be a little short. The course went through my subdivision so I knew the roads quite well. Call it slightly over 16??? Either way, I'm happy how it went and felt good throughout. I can tell I pushed it out there with how I'm feeling now. I miss that post racing type of feeling.
Oh, and all you others better step it up. mbehr just set a huge bar for this month's beer.

Well that turned out better than I thought it would...1 OA, 15:59. Felt good even with much of Mile 2 into a headwind. Didn't know where mile markers were so had no clue of splits. Don't know if that helped or not. Just pushed it along where I could. For not racing a 5k in a good 17-18 months, I'll take it.
Fantastic!
1:35:11 for me. There's still time.

I look my best blurry!
mbehr = awesome
mbehr - you beat your goal by a minute?! in a 5K, and your goal was sub-17?! DADGUM!!! That's awesome - congratulations!
Congratulations Nader, looks like you drug that ol' hurt laig along pretty fast! Hope you heal up and get that sub 1:30 soon!
Free racing is cool! I gotta blow my own horn here (uhh, did I actually say that out loud?). Last year I was able to finish in the top 10 of the Pacific Associaton USATF Grand Prix (Masters) which means they comp you on all entry fees in the Grand Prix for the next year. There are 5 races in the long-course series - a 10miler, 12K , two 1/2 marathons and a marathon (CIM) - so I get to race 5 times this year for free! Feels cool to just send in your entry with "COMP'D" written across the top. Still, not nearly as cool as getting comp'd cuz you actually WON the race or finished 2nd! Congrats on your achievements - they are definitely impressive and it's been pretty exciting to follow your progress. Both you and wannabe have really made significant improvements in your racing. Here's to more 'free' racing for you girls.
When I read this at first, I thought you were talking about "free running", which is where you run up walls and flip over stuff, and flop around all crazy-like.
Congrats to you and Candice and Wannabee, and the other fast folks who get comp'd.
I got comp'd for a 5 mile race once, but it was just because I helped at packet pickup. And with that little story, I've exhausted the tales of my glory days of running. Ha!
+1. Woof.

I haven't received anything free but I was pretty excited to get this e-mail today! Unfortunately, my coach doesn't seem impressed. Too soon after Boston for another goal race maybe. ??? SEEDED RUNNER INFORMATION Greetings, This email is to confirm that you have received a seeded position for the Dick's Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon or UPMC Health Plan Pittsburgh Half Marathon.

Thank you very much, Tony.
Oh...yea...that's pretty quick turnaround
I think I was thinking of the Philly distance run....maybe.

Philadelphia is traditionally in late November, I believe. The first Rehoboth marathon (late November) got overflow from people who didn't get into Philly.
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
