04.22.07

Did pretty darn good at the Flushing Tax Trot. Wish I was in better shape that I could have ran the 10K or 15K, but right now I'll take what I can get. It was another hot one, just like last year. Finished with the temps in the mid-70's - and last weekend at Beach Wellness (or was that two weeks ago??) it was in the mid-40's. Kinda hard for a body to get used to that kinda shock!

I finished in 33.00. My first mile was around 10.22, my second mile around 21.18. At least I'm fairly consistent. :-)

What's next? I have to check the calendar! J & I would like to add the Detroit Free Press 1/2 marathon to our list for this year, it will be a nice warm-up for the Disney.

That's it for now!

Life update

Yes - I'm still here. Barely.

As of 04/02 we have our house up for sale (no bites yet), so that had kept me busy. Other things have been brewing as well that have been keeping me from my running and blogging. Excuses, excuses! I know. Lame.

Yesterday we did the First Annual Beach Wellness 5K Race out at the State Park. I enjoyed it, because it was the same course for Run By the Bay so I knew it. Didn't set a PR, but it was good to be out running! Ran into my trainer JH - always good to see her. Hopefully the weather will warm up and we will be able to resume our workouts like we want to.

Next weekend is the Flushing Tax Trot. Another good race. Nice residential run through a pretty neighborhood. My mom will be there to race also. Last year the Tax Trot was my first run ever. I finished in 35.22 (11.24 pace), I see no reason why I can't beat that! (keeping fingers crossed)

Off to do more laundry!
