Very happy with this race. :)

Let it be said that I am not a huge fan of 5 or 10Ks so pretty much avoid them. BUT ... I needed to finish the runners series and left myself with very few options (plus I promised Annie)!!

I have rarely been able to find a rhythm in these shorter distances. Today I was a bit concerned about my asthma and so made the simple goal of running completely in control of my breathing. I LOVED IT!!! I felt strong throughout the race and did not have one asthma issue. Consequently I PR'd by over one minute (my previous PR was on this same course last year). How can I not be thrilled? I am!!! :)

The only regret I have is not running 2 seconds faster (which would have given me the #2 spot in my division and a top 10 overall ... but I had no idea where I was at and was just enjoying seeing my family on the side lines and feeling good). :)

Was able to run Annie in (but she was cruising and only had about 1/4 of a mile left by the time I got back up to her). SHE DID AWESOME and beat her hubby (my brother)!!! :) :) :)

Then an additional 8 with Annie afterwards. GOOD TIMES!

Always great to be able to hang out with friends before and after!!! (Congrats to all who had a fantastic race!)

(Is Spring Break already over? STINK!!!)

great little tune up race for Boston! Sometimes getting those 2 seconds shaved off your finish time is an up hill battle. Congrats on a great 10k!!! Now it's 28 days till Boston!!!

(I can't believe Boston is so close! Time is flying!)

I almost caught you! :) Next time I'll be a little mentally tougher when you pass me at mile 5.5 and stick with you then out sprint YOU at the finish. HA! whatever. I loved having you there Teena and running a couple of your cool down with you and Annie. I'm so glad you had an awesome race and fought for that hardware - I just about stole it for you! :)

From Teena Marie on Sun, Mar 18, 2012 at 21:56:51 from 174.27.198.157

Thanks Tim, Julie, Brent and Rachel! :)

Rachel~ I have no doubt that you could out sprint me at the end of any race! (And I mean that.) :)

Way to go, Teena. You did great!!! I kept wishing Amy and I were down there running it.

From Teena Marie on Mon, Mar 19, 2012 at 13:36:57 from 155.100.166.96

Thanks Dale! I am not a huge fan of 10Ks, but as far as 10Ks go, it was fun! How is Amy feeling?
