I finished and I felt good.  That is all that matters.  I am slow.  I have said it before and probably will again, but at least I am running.  I am happy with that for now.

Great job! I wouldn't call that slow, though. It's like 9:30ish pace for 5 miles, right! Darn respectable. Hold your head high! How long have you been running? I have a suspicion that you have a lot of potential. Is Little Bad Legs a blood relative?

Thank you. I ran for about a year then took a year off and for this stretch it's been a couple of months. I am happy with my progress. And hope to get better.

Yes Little Bad Legs is my brother. He is good!!

Hey, dam to dam sounds hard to me, we are all runners, regardless of speed. It takes guts to put on a number, lace em up and put yourself on the line.

Hey, just my thoughts, change you blog name to Just Darn Determined. I have other ideas, or just mind my own business.

Yea! I knew it. Here you've just been running a couple of months and you ran that fast on a super hard course for 5 miles. One of these days Little Bad Legs is going to be saying, "yeah, SHE's my sister; she's good, huh!"

And I second Brent's comment. New name! New Name! New Name!

Great job on the race today. Your time was great, that's a tough course. Pat yourself on the back!

Thank you for all of the comments and when I feel faster I will change the name, but for now I like slowpoke.

I enjoyed the course and because of the moisture we have had recently the sand was pretty compacted which helped for sure. Thank you again for the comments.
