Reindeer Run in Tower Grove Park. Snowball series #2

Snowball Series-Run 1 Queeny Park

Turkey Trot 8K 2016

Sam and I did the 8K Turkey Trot in Forest Park.  There were way more people than I was expecting.  It was a lot of fun and perfect running weather.  Even though I was slow, I did pretty well because  I ran almost the first 3 miles without stopping.  I haven't done that in a while!!!!  I was in the top 1/3 for my age range too

Go! St. Louis Halloween run

Didn't do as well as the run in the Spring, but I did get under 3 hours.  I really need to get out and run more so that I'm not starting from scratch every time.  I wasn't last, but close to it!!!!

I love Forest Park Run 2016

Very hot and humid for the run on Sunday.  I have never seen as many people walking as I did for this run.  It was hard to breathe.  I was pretty slow, definitely need to get in shape for my Halloween half marathon.  This is our before picture.  Our after picture was so bad I deleted it!!!!

April Run-and it's a big one!!!!

I ran the Go! St. Louis half marathon this morning.  I can't deny it, it was hard!!!  My goal was to be under 3 hours and I made it, so I'm happy....

March run

After sitting on the beach on Wednesday, we came back to run 7 K in 34 degree weather and snow!!!!

Last of the Snowball Series

The snowball series is done. I was pretty slow yesterday, but the course was not completely flat and that really makes me struggle.  I need to work on running uphill.  It was a beautiful day and a great run.

At the end of the series, I did pretty well, at least I was the fastest 57 year old woman doing the runs!!!  We will definitely be doing these runs next year.

Snowball series #4

The 4th run in the Snowball Series was this morning round Creve Coeur lake.  I made pretty good time (maybe my fastest run yet) but it was nice and flat, so I should run faster.  I had to run on my own because Sam was working today.  The weather was cold, but still good for running.  I wore exactly the right amount of clothes.  Also ran in my new shoes.
I haven't ever been out there, seems like a great place to run, I need to go more often.  Drove back to take a picture of the frozen waterfall

First run of 2016

We ran the 5 mile Forest Park run in the Snowball Series yesterday morning.  It was pretty cold when we got started, but the sun was out and it turned out to be really nice.  Sam waited for me, so his time is much slower than would be normally.  I am now #17 out of 48 in the series ranking.  Not bad at all since I am so slow these days!!!!
