Springing into SaturDAILIES (Read 42 times)

     

    I hung out at the expo for about 30 minutes after I registered, leaving around 6:40.  I was really disappointed in the prices of the gear as literally nothing was priced to sell.  A stark contrast to Detroit's expo where prices were marked down 75 - 85 percent!

     

    Today I hung out until after the start of the half marathon, which as you know was delayed due to course conditions.  I am still a block of ice from waiting in the cold with what I had on!

     

    Ha, I'm sure we were at the expo at the same time, I was there from about 6:00-6:30. I guess in the future we'll have to make more specific plans....

    Yes there was quite a groan from the crowd when they announced they were delaying the start. I cannot imagine waiting around in what you had on, I was freezing in long sleeves & pants.

    Just B.S.


      D:  Great job!!

      Beth:  You are most welcome!  I will pray for you and your aunt!

       

      Well, I was a few seconds off my pr, probably due to stopping to get a prize off Scuffy's back ($10 off Dick's Sporting Goods) and having to restart my music in the first mile, but my legs were dying at the end too!  I did place 3rd overall female so won a trophy...yay!  I messed my Garmin up a couple times so not sure of official time yet...it was a small race so no chips.  Not happy with my performance but like the trophy!  Now DH and I are headed to downtown Indy to celebrate my birthday!  Which catch up with you all later!

       

      Ami, great job on the race and thanks again.

       

      Hubby and i both ordered another pair of shoes today.Big grin

       

      Thanks to Marjorie as well who originally mentioned the Running Warehouse sale.

       

      Having two people in the family running marathons and doing tri's (hubby just bought another wet suit

      last week, a sleeveless and the pool positively chews up my swim suits) gets expensive so four pairs

      of shoes at  50% off each is a great help!

        As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

          Congrats racers!

           

          I ran 10 miles @ 8:21 after taking my friend to the airport. It's been a busy week of being a tourist in my hometown, so I think I'll kick back after dinner with some beer she brought from Japan and check out some race reports, including my own.

            Hi Saturdailies!

             

            Missed posting yesterday. Working the dreaded day shifts this weekend so my posting time has been limited a bit.

             

            Anyway, 4 miles yesterday and 4 today. Legs feeling a bit heavy, especially yesterday. I think it is related to 12 hour shifts and a lack of quality sleep.

             

            Tomorrow's an SRD, then I'm going to go long(ish) on Monday. My last long run before next Saturday's 15K.

            5K - 25:16, 10K - 55:31,  15K - 1:20:55,   HM - 1:54:54

                Congrats to all who ran races - and woohoo to the PRs!!

                 

                Got out this morning in the snow (gotta love MN!) and ran 8.1 without looking at the Garmin.  Ran it 15 seconds per mile faster than I would have had I been trying to stick to a pace.  Felt great...so yay!

                      SRD. D&D game tonight. I'm off to bed. I'll run in the morning. I need to not mess around with my time, if I want to meet my mileage goal for April. I might just sneak two-mile VFF runs into my break every day this coming week.

                       

                      My Inon8 F-lite 195s arrived from the Shoe Mart. Now, I have a spare pair of Kinvara 3s and a spare pair of F-lite 195s.

                        Snow, really?

                         

                        Oh, don't act so surprised.  This is Minnesota we're talking about.  Doesn't mean we're happy about it though.  Our spring/summer/fall will feel unbelievably short.  And I wouldn't be surprised if we get a super early permanent snowfall this fall.  I've told DH I want to move.  LOL!
