Houston Half Marathon-A HUGE PR!

1:46:12.

WOW. to think all i had in me was 'just run a 1:50 and I will be happy.'

*running negative splits at sub-8 minute pace at the end of the race was awesome.
*passing people on the overpass 'hills' was awesome ("cookie, cookie, Wilke, Wilke!")
*having the Houston Strider family there to cheer me on was awesome.

an 8 minute PR...and I probably could have done more! more later...after my well-deserved vacation to Panama (the country!)

see ya soon...

IBM Uptown 10k, a new PR!

48:27.

Didn't think I had that in me. Funny thing is that when I was looking at watch right before we hit mile 6, I was right on target for 47 and some change. I still hammered the last .2 and that flew by fast!

A fast course...great weather. ONWARDS to the Houston Half Marathon next weekend. Another PR? One can hope...

More later...

I GOT IN!

good news from Tough Cookies camp (the girls I will be riding the MS150 with this year):

I'M IN!!!!!!! WOOHOO!

Now, to try to relax a little today (read=try to stay off feet) as tomorrow I have the first race of the season, the IBM 10k.

I DIDN'T GET IN!!!!!!!

As karma would have it, I forgot my credit card at home this morning and by the time i tried to sign up for the MS150 tonight, it was sold out!!!!!!!!!

i'm so sad and pissed at myself...someone come comfort me!!!!!!!

:(

Dare I say it...

seeing how i already planned out my race schedule on here for the wholllle world to see...

I have a huge crush on a local austin hottie. that is all i am going to say.

I promise to update soon.
