Thanks Ladies :) I found out that I was 168th out of 257 women running for time, and I was 22nd in my age range (there were 31 of us between the ages of 40-44). So fun!

Oh my goodness what a sweet sweet face she has!!! Congratulations Cynthia!! I am sure she will touch and warm your heart and that Mercedes would want only that for you!! I love Mastiffs :) my little boy is an English mastiff . . . he's drooling on my feet as I type this :p -- he is 15...

Congratulations!!! That's so awesome!! I hope to get there one day!!

I'm back!!!!! It was awesome!!! I'm so happy . . . I love this sport!!! My first trail run and I have to say it was much harder than I anticipated! It felt like it was straight up for the first 2.5 miles. . . . probably because it was!!! The trail just kept on going up . . . up . . . up ...

I think that's something I love about running . . . . that super athletes run right along side us non-super athletes :) they inspire me -- I remember the Bay to Breakers! I was far from a runner when I lived in the bay area so I never even considered doing such a thing -- I plan to make up...

Thanks Janie!! Tricia it's tomorrow :) I went and picked up my packet today and I'm so excited!! Got my bib and my t-shirt and all the other little goodies and now all I have to do is wait!! I ran a slow and easy 2 miles this morning and still paced out at 9'45" - which kind of surprised...

So far I've only run one 5K, but I'm running a 10K this Sunday and then another 5K next month, and a 10K in September and then the 1/2 marathon in October. I'm looking for something to run locally in November and December just to keep me focused. I love it so much. I started my "run wish...

Anne! I didn't know you were in Vancouver!! :eek: I just sent you a friend request!

Well then I consider that an affirmative answer :) I'll try to get into some swimming lessons this winter too and will put this on my "to be done in 2011 calendar" Before October I have every intention of making it down to the bay area to run in a 10K or better so I'll let you know when I do...

Yea, well, I don't swim either . . . YET :) But I think it looks like lots of fun too!!

what a nice thing to say!! :) Thanks!!

Thank you Mary, and thanks about my hair :) I love it too!!!

I am really proud, thanks! As far as training programs go, I'm not really on one. I bought a book a few months ago from Borders for training for the half marathon I'm running in October, but I didn't follow it after the first two weeks because it bored me :( so I read Runners World pretty...

Thanks Pam, you're pretty awesome too!! :)

Thanks :) Hills are killer. I had read in Runners World that tackling the hills would help increase your pace. There is an outrageous hill that I only first tried a couple weeks ago -- it was brutal but I managed to run up it and then I would have to walk for 45 seconds to recover -- clearly...

Thank you Kristin! I will be sure to share the outcome of the 10K!!

It's a total rush to know that I can inspire others! Thank you!! What is PF?

Thanks Janie, you are so sweet. Any time I start to doubt myself I think of all the nice, positive things you (and many others on this forum) have said to me!!

Thank you!! You WILL get there!! Just keep trying!

We have not discussed this in a while but look at this: http://www.envirosports.com/events/tri-girl-tri-all-womens-sprint-triathlon I can't do it this year (because I have not yet started swimming lessons, not to mention the half marathon I'm running is October 10th) but what do you think...
