Personal:

Pride necessarily sprouts and grows; a pride that can only come from relentless kneading of unwilling flesh, painful months of grinding and burning away all that is heavy, all that is strength-sapping and useless to the body as a projectile. --John L. Parker, Jr., runner/author

This morning, I set a PR in the Fayetteville Half-Marathon in Fayetteville Arkansas.

Finish Time: 1:27:40

Average Pace: 6:42/mile

Age Group: 2nd

Overall: 6th

Given the bitter cold and sustained wind gusts of 20mph, I was certainly pleased with the result. I accomplished an intermediate goal, and advanced one step closer to my ultimate goal of qualifying for Boston in March. My finish time qualifies me for a Corral A starting position in the Little Rock Marathon.

My dad, Mark, also ran a great race. In his first event longer than a 10K, he finished second in his age division, running just over 1:46:00. If he keeps this up, he may be looking at a Boston qualifier as well!

Enough for now...I'm heading to my Sunday School Class Christmas Party with the family for some much needed fun and relaxation.

Best,

Wesley

Great job Wesly and congrats to your dad too.

You need to re post this as a race report - It's a great way to keep track of all your races.

Ok, so I'm a little slow (insert Southern joke here). How do I post as a race report?

Congrats to both you and your dad, those are great times. Look out BQ, here you come!

To make a race report, go to the workout calendar and edit the entry for this day. At the top of the entry screen, you will see a button asking if this is a race report, click it and some additional information windows will pop up, then it will link to you as a race report.
