~7 min PR ...ran a 2:31:ish half today. I really wanted a 2:28 which would have been a 10 min PR BUT I COULD NOT HANG at the end. It was a little hilly, not bad but I don't run hills at all and I had to walk 2 hills. I need to start running hills. Thankfully my ankle and my shin cooperated too. I ran with a 2:30 pacer for the first half and then she started slowing down due to her knee and she finished in 2:34. It was a great day!
Nice run Lauren, you are getting so SPEEDY. You inspire me.
brill crunch time. Excited for you!
pad, nice 5k time. So close to sub 30 which is a goal of mine this year.
Robert, thought about yall and TJ a lot today, nice run.

Nice race Traci! Congrats on the PR! Hills totally suck no matter what but running them on a regular basis will definitely help you out. Careful with form though, they have screwed up my calves and shins worse than too much speedwork if I get sloppy. No overstriding, take little steps, don't try anything crazy like hill sprints until you're used to running them at an easy effort (will be a little slower than your usual easy pace on flat ground).
Hurray Traci! Way to go with that PR, AND ankles & knees all good.
That's why I'm so scared to run hills because I know it's hard on the calves! My PT lady told me to avoid hills - ha. I'm running a SUPER HILLY half in April and I am so screwed! I'm gonna start maybe with small hills and try to really focus on my form. HILL SPRINTS? Me? HAHA
Team TJ
You WE have to be hill ready by Halloween so we can race together again! Nice job today.

Are you talking about the UCP half in Florence? Is it on Halloween?
YAYAYAYAY I just looked it up and its on Halloween so that must mean y'all are coming to Florence again! Woohoo. I'm totally in for that one and I should be able to help push more this year.
First Masters race done, and it's a 4 second PR. 25:31 for 5k. Hopefully this is the start of a better racing year for me! 3rd place 40-49 woman, but the awards only went to the AG winners. Guess I need to run faster next time!
Congrats to Traci and Mitch!
Congrats Melanie! A FEW PRs today!
