Finally did it - no going back: I really wish the race was on Saturday though - that way I could go hiking one day next weekend, but it was not meant to be. Time Goal #1 - Better than 55:32 (my 2006 time) Time Goal #2 - Less than one hour Even if I don't meet my first goal, I will dry my damnedest to meet my second goal.

I don't know why I signed up to do this race, I guess originally it was because Cassidys imaginary boyfriend, Ben Harper was playing afterwards and I figured we'd both go. Now I'm her ex, and Ben is still...went home. My heart rate sums up my race, stressed out, worn out and finished. I did most of the first 2-miles at over 90% MAXHR. Will I ever learn. Splits: 8.13, 8:34, 9:47, 14:28, 10:51, 10:28,

... leading every lap but one until he got a cut tire with less than 20 laps left to go!!  That was a sad day!  I cried! Ok, maybe not literally, but I was crying on the inside.  There were so many races that Denny should have won this year!!  He'll make up for them in the chase tho.  I believe that Kyle and Carl will knock each other out once the probation runs off leaving an open door for Denny...

Over in trigeeks , ladibug21 asked " What do you do with your finisher's medals and trophies (if you have them, I don't have any trophies. not yet anyway!)?" Since I can't work out...and medal from my last ever motocross/enduro race. It was 3-months after my leg came out of a cast after my serious leg break. Of course, I live alone, so no when else gets to complain ;-)

It's been about eight months since I last ran with music and I think I'm going to bring my trusty dusty Shuffle with me tomorrow. The motivation that music brings will be needed. I really want to do that...just go out alone, but with my Shuffle. I need new shoes too - probably not for a few weeks - need to get some OT to help pay for them since I'm trying to save money due to the housing situation

I did end up running the half marathon last Saturday.  It went pretty well for the first 10 miles and then I got really tired.  It took almost an hour to run the last three miles.  Not so good.  But, it...a new pair.  Not only were they a half size too small (for really long runs, I need to have a full size bigger than normal shoes), but they were slipping on the arches.  Not a great combination

A late email just confirmed it: "Don’t forget to pick up your packet before the big day, as there will be no race day packet pick-up." However, the masters of the English language over at Nike still messed...about the event now, the thought of pictures of 10k of us all dressed in the same shirts as a walking nike ad... but then I guess thats what corporate sponsorship and charity giving is all about

... I've officially registered for Standard Chartered 10km.  Oh my. This is for real! I got to start training. Or least come up with a plan of some sort? I cannot believe I'm really doing this. 2 races this year! Its a YAY thing!  Boo. Li Ning and I are doing different races. :( Our flag off times are obviously different so I wonder whats going to happen on the day itself!  7 Dec 2008. I'm hoping...

I'm planning for a 5km (or 2) next week. But I'm really worried I'll be smack-dead lazy and end up missing it again. Oh gosh, oh gosh. I made a mistake of eating a whole half pack of potato chips today...to it all. Sick of staying at home and bingeing and watching TV. Or even shopping and enjoying life so much. WHEN is Jan actually going to call me?!!? URGH. Please, God help.  I don't wanna grow fat

This is just something I thought would be fun to spread as quickly as possible = ) So spread it ppl!  love is... >draggging yourself out of bed to watch the sunrise on a mountain backdrop >with someone...you and tellling you it's gonna be okay, and to just go give >him a hug, it's your last chance! > >love is... >all of you i'm sending this to! >so... >SPREAD THE LOVEand pass this on!
