Beat my PR by about a min. and 1/2 so thrilled with that! But I underestimated the course. Figured it would be an easy 5k so didn't sleep or eat as well as I should have in preparation. There were some tough inclines on the course. Was a little disappointed that I didn't get 3rd! Wanted to place! But thrilled with my time and that's what counts. The race was very well run I thought. Friendly staff. Nice that they gave out full sized gatorades. My son ran the 1k and the balls they gave the kids were a nice touch. Would do this race again, but be better prepared for the hills. Chose the 5k instead of the 10k because I didn't want to be sore next week. I want to get in a long run Monday and am focused on training for the 1/2 marathon next month.

Congratulations on a PR. Not shuffling any more. I've seen college track girls run 22 minutes in a track meet. You are almost there, probably 8 months of good training away.

HEY ShufflingSista:

You had a great race. Thanks for your comments. Yes I remember you! Keep up the training. the Hurricane half also has some hills and it is a slight, but steady climb until you drop down into laverkin.

Great Job!

PR on a hilly course! Just think how great your time will be the next time you run a flat course. How long have you been running?

A race every month for 7 years, wow!

You know, just because you are an adult doesn't mean you can't learn piano. I have several adult piano students--and honestly they progress just as fast if not faster than the kiddos. Just something to think about the next time you are sitting around with nothing to do. Ha ha. I am actually taking piano lessons, too. I just want to reach my potential--and I have my whole like to get there.

PR,great job. Thanks for your comments on the cookie chaser. By the way, you are a real runner, under 8 minute mile pace in a 5K. Gool luck on your training.
