A slightly obnoxious mom and wife who loves good beer and running, who struggles a bit with depression especially in the winter and when running isn’t allowed, who’d rather go on a fun vacation than upgrade the kitchen or add a master bath. Read More…
Mainly Marathons Appalachian Series – South CarolinaMarch 27, 20222:47:45 What I wore: hat, tank top, long sleeve quarter zip, capris, and Altra Rivera Location: Seneca, SC (State #41!) Let’s just start out with the truth – this race was the hardest of the races and pretty much sucked. I chose to do the early start […]
Congrats on the race, and glad you managed your fluids well with that heat! Glad the shorts worked out so well too! You’re so right about your dad and him running too, that is amazing.
Congrats on a fabulous race and PR!
Great job on your race and pr! Glad to hear the shorts worked for you, I am going to have to buy a pair.
great work at the race and congrats on a new PR. You’re so fortunate to have your dad run with you, but I am sorry that you had to be reminded of it.
It was a hot and sultry day– 1:31:03 is a great time. I think it’s probably a mixture of compassion and the pressing fear of my loved one’s own mortality/realization we’re all growing older, but I find the deaths of my childhood friends’ parents very difficult to cope with. And the one time I ever cried at work was when I learned that a dear childhood friend’s partner had died. Anyway, what I’m saying– probably poorly– is that I’m glad you decided to get out of bed and run the race. (Honestly, though, next week’s 5k? I’m probably gonna totally skip it. Even if my quad is feeling better.)
Congrats on the PR and a fantastic race!
great job on the race. you ARE fortunate to have your dad able to run with you.
CONGRATS chica! What an awesome race and PR to in the hotness to boot! Very nice!
A PR! WOO HOO! You’ll work out the kinks next race and really blow the time away.
Great job on your race! You had some great split times!I wish my dad could run with me. But I AM blessed that he is healthy enough to cheer me on, even though he doesn’t run anymore. When friends’ parents go, it does remind us to cherish ours, doesn’t it?
Despite your emotions and lack of good sleep, plus the heat, you still ran an amazing race! I’m so awed by your splits! You’ll PR in the Army 10-miler for sure now that you know what you can do in not-so-ideal conditions (and a full bladder).
Good job with the race – and way to PR! I bet you will break 1:30 at the Army 10 miler.
Great job on a great PR in that heat!!
