Walked the US Air Force Marathon 10 K today. Personal best pace of 14:32 to finish in less than an hour and a half (barely!)

Hi all!

I ran my 10k in 47:14. 1st female 20-24 and 3rd female overall. Not too bad seeing as I've only run other race at this distance.

Best,
Jennifer

Way to go Jennifer

That an amezing walking time Meg well done.

Well, WISHers friends, I can now scratch "complete half marathon" off my bucket list!!

I finished in (imo) a respectable 2:36:41, rolling course, no killer hills, but lots of gentler ups and downs. I hyperventilated and cried a bit at the end, emotional sort that I am. And aside from some unfortunate chafing of my inner thighs, I am feeling pretty good.

Hope everyone else had a great time! Great job Jennifer and Meg!!

Decided last minute to do a 5K Run for the Animals, only 74 runners, but I wasn't last, whoo hoo! Pretty windy, and had to cross a long bridge (which I hate, dont like heights!!) and one mile was thru the woods (conservation area)...leaves are starting to change so there was something to look at. Everyone got t-shirts, toothbrushes and a floss card, at the end there was hot dogs, fruit, water and lemonade, placers got medals and there were raffles for local resturants. Fun race, would do it again...

Hope everyone else had good races!

Hi Meg! My DH and I both did the USAF 10K this past weekend too! He stayed with me and we finished in 1 hr. 21 min. I was happy with this.

Now he wants me to do the marathon in January. I'm not sure about that yet.
