Brentwood Community 5K

 When did I last run this fast???!!!!  I was also 1st in my age category, so actually got a medal!!!!!  I still keep thinking something is wrong with this as I've been running at 13:30 for ages.  Just wow

All-American 2026

 I ran this race on my own.  It was a great day and my pace was slightly faster than last year.  My pace was 11:26, it's the fastest I have run in a long time

St. Patrick's Day Run

Great run with Joe today.  I was 3rd out of 25 in my age group and a really good pace.

Snowball Series #1

 

Doing the series virtually this year as I won't be in St. Louis for all the runs.  I'm much slower when I'm running on my own as my time is definitely not as good as last year by a long way.  It is much harder to run in Denver as I feel like I am never here long enough to get used to the change in altitude and humidity.  Or maybe I'm just getting older and slower.  At least I'm still doing it AND I get the medals!!!!!

Hot Chocolate 15K 2025

Joe & I ran the Hot Chocolate 15K and both did well.  My pace was pretty good for a longer run and I was 3rd out of 7 in my age category, so right where I usually am.  Joe had a great run and his pace was 11:40-he took 30 seconds off his last year's pace.

Since Joe finished before me, he got a chance to take a photo as I crossed the finish line!!!!

MO Cowbell 2025

 

Hard run today, we were just not feeling it.  We still made it in just under 3 hours, but I really did feel like I wasn't going to make it to the finish line.  We weren't the only ones, a lot of folks seemed in the same boat as us.

Macklind Mile

Joe and I ran Macklind Mile this morning.  They separate men and women, so he ran before me.  Joe ran in 8:30, that's really amazing for him.  It was very hot and humid098% humidity!!!!  Still, it's a really enjoyable race, even though my pace was not that great
