Good luck Stitchfan! We last minute registered for the Dances with Dirt 10K Trail Run in Gnaw Bone, Indiana....should be fun!

Im running the Kirkland (WA) 1/2 marathon on Mother's Day!
Predicted for beautiful weather.
And the course looks nice as well (although maybe somewhat hilly).


Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there!!!

I had a great race today! I've had a busy spring of races so far, and have 3 more 1/2's in the next month or so. I took this race a little bit easier and just had a great time. You have to love a race where you get a cowbell at the end along with your medal!

Congrats! Did you actually get to see any cows? Were any of them holding up signs to support the runners?

I am envious of all the races you are racking up! You will reach your goal in no time!

There were cow cut outs along the course, and we got to see (and smell) them on our way back around mile 10. It reminded me of the area right before AK on the marathon course. Pretty stinky! I'm glad they were apparently still asleep when we ran by that field at mile 3...

Congratulation on the half marathon. Three more in the next month.

Congrats on the 1/2! We had a great race Saturday as well...10K trail race on a very tough course that included a few hills that used to be ski slopes I finished 2nd in my age group and 11th female overall which isn't bad considering we got lost once and I took a pretty nasty fall in a creek (thought for a minute my arm was broken, but it's just badly bruised!). Here is my favorite part of the race though: This race included a 10K, 1/2, Full, 50K, and 50 mile races...those 50-milers are crazy (in an awesome way!). So, the 1/2 started 15 minutes before we did. As I was running and feeling pretty good about my time, I was around mile 4.5-5 (in my estimation at the time) when this guy comes up behind and just flies past....he looked like he was literally floating through the air. It took me a minute to realize he was the lead runner in the 1/2 and had joined back up with our course...he ran the entire 1/2 10 minutes slow than I ran the 10K

I ran the Kirkland (WA) half marathon on Mother's Day.
It was great weather and a fun run.
Very hilly though!
I love the medal that we got. It will go nicely with my other bling!
I finished in 2:03. Not too bad for it being the hilliest half I've ever run.

After doing this half, I qualified as a half fanatic (2nd level). So excited!

Congratulations on both the finish, and becoming a Half Fanatic! WooHoo!

Congrats to all the finishers! It's starting to heat up for the summer season.
I ran the Castaway Cay 5K on Tuesday, 15th. It was HOT, but I still was able to finish in 26:40 with heat and two days of prerace overeating. Afterwards stretched with yoga class at Serenity Bay Beach.

I really want to run that 5K one day. The last time I was on a Disney Cruise, they didn't offer the race option.
