January 15 run

Three out of town visitors joining us this Sunday

Just wanted to alert you to the fact that we expect three young ladies to visit us this Sunday.  Two of them are visiting from Baltimore.  Their names are Sue and Roxanne.  Sue is returning for her third year in a row and is planning to do the Dublin Marathon later this year (ala Bob Raymond & family). Sue belongs to my old running club in Baltimore.  The third visitor is Lori from Delaware.  She is training for an unspecified marathon and is a fast runner.  Unless some of you speedsters show up Sunday, we may either have to pass her to our fast sister group up the street or let her fend for herself with the route map I have sent to her. 

 

At any rate, it would be nice to greet them with a good turnout this Sunday.  Last Sunday we had 19 runners and a great running morning.

 

Disney Races Last Sunday

Neither Leslie nor Seth reported in on their performance, but Dylan fared better than me in smoking out their race results.  He reports that Seth continued his perfect record of running Disney since inception with a 4:39:35 performance.  Leslie did the Marathon portion of Goofy in a very respectable 4:30:40.  Hey Leslie, let us have the rest of the story!  Congratulations to both of you!

 

Look forward to seeing you Sunday.  Should be a nice, brisk run.

Correction, Leslie did the Marathon in 4:03 not 4:30. The day before she did the ½ in 1:57 if I remember correctly.

Hey Hey Hey

I did not finish in 4:30

I finished in 4:03

I finished the half in 1:57

The half was easy. The full was challenging after Mile 22, when it got hot!

At Mile 25 I was 3:48 and then my quad cramped, I stopped to stretch it and then my hamstring also cramped, so it took 15 minutes to do that last mile. UGH!

I was relieved when it was over!

Not sure if I want to do it again next year...we shall see.
