Great thread title. My sisters and I did our 1 run together before our marathon next month. We went 17.4 miles in a windy day. It was enjoyable. It's now almost party time. My dad planned a casino night for some family and friends.

Howdy penguins. No time for personals, my guests have started showing up. I'll have a full house between now and Wdenesday. I'm planning on getting my runs in, if only for sanity's sake. I do have news..I ran my first 10K this morning. It was a small race at Tyler State Park, hosted by a local running club. It turns out that I misjudged my fitness a little....going into the race I thought under 1:10 was likely, and under 1:05 would be really good. I finished in 1:02:37! The course was very hilly, which made it hard for me to settle in to a pace (I can tell by the splits where the hills were...I was slow up the hills and flying down the hills). Ift was a lot of fun-- thanks everyone for encouraging me to give it a try!

Phil: Congrats on the HHM !!!! 1:02:37 is fantastic.
Cookies are definitely a weakness of mine, but the good news is with so many cookies around I can turn down pretty much everything else because I would rather have a cookie. Now I just need to get the extras out of the house!
Margo- Nice job on the 10K! I'm glad you had a good time, and nice way to obliterate your goal!
Damaris- Ouch! Feel better soon!
Kitteh- Looks beautiful!
Tomas- Congrats on the LR!
