Great, great run!!!! I was able - for the first time - to run WITHOUT WALKING at all!!!!! I am so happy! After I pushed past the first urge to walk, I made it to a mile and kept thinkin, "Hey, I'm not dying; I can go further." And then, I became determined not to walk until after 2 miles. And then, I figured I might as well make it all the way home! I even kicked it up a notch on the last bit. My splits were:

1 - 11:21

2 - 12:14

.25 - 10:32

Ave - 11:39

I didn't mean to go fast, but that's actually faster than my 5K race average! Maybe it's because I had such a lazy day reading Twilight ... the whole day (ooops). That book is so addicting! I read the whole thing in less than 24 hours and its 500 pages!!! Crazy. I want to start the next book (New Moon), but I think my children need to see my face for a few days without having to peak over a book. lol

Great job, Laura! You probably exceeded my pace today. I'd say that race gave you a real boost.

I'm glad you liked Twilight! Everybody does. Just wait 'til you read New Moon!

Debbie got absolutely addicted to those books (Kimberly read them also but she doesn't like them). She's read all three (and we own them now). I keep joking about when the new series is coming out where a girl falls in love with the mummy, or maybe Frankenstein.

Nice job! It might be your first time running without walking, but you could probably walk faster than my pace.

Laura, you are earning commando points right and left, 10 points, when you make it to 3 miles without stopping, that is a big barrier to break. Nice work. We may have to give you a warrior running name. Run fast and stay cool

Wow Laura! That is really great! And over 2 miles too, that is impressive. Seth keeps telling me I need to start adding more distance. But a mile is just such a comfortable distance to run :) Anyway, great job! I'm really excited for you.
