@rteetz is running his first non-Disney Half Marathon on Saturday in hopes to get a better POT for Dopey! Go Panda!

@Slogger I should have remembered to remove the Chicago Fall Half. I had decided to sign up for a 10 miler in a few weeks instead. But I'll still make sure I run on Sunday...just not 13.1 miles
But thank you for the shout out.

Congrats Ryan!!!!!! Way to go. That looks like a very favorable corral placement POT!

Ran the Holly Springs police torch run 5k with my oldest this morning. Knowing the 2nd and 3rd miles we’re hilly, I told him he could run the first mile without intervals. He ran a 9:25 for his first mile! I fear my days of being able to keep up with him are coming to a close in the next year or so.

Yeah I’m really happy with it.

Well done! Looks like we'll be in the same corral.

 

[RunDopey]

Yeah I’m really happy with it.

Well done! Gald you are happy with the result.

 

[Wendy98]

Just a quick check in from Berlin. 3:04:44. Much better than I hoped-no wonder the world record gets set on this course, it feels so fast. My stomach is finally settling down, so off for dinner and a beer or 2.

You Go Girl 10k - Race Recap

This morning I ran the You Go Girl 10k sponsored by Tacoma City Marathon Association. I first ran this race in 2014 and was looking forward to running the half in 2015. But, the race went away... finally returning last year with an entirely new course. The 10k fit into my plans last year, so this was supposed to be my first time finally running the half. However, they got rid of the half and instead only offered a 5k and 10k (starting together). Oh well...

Last year’s 10k was a PR for me (despite the course measuring a little short per my Garmin, it is certified) that I improved upon in April. Since I knew it was a fast course, and marathon training has had me training slow... I decided to go for it.

I pushed my pace and shortened my walk breaks from 1 min to 30 seconds per mile run. There are two very short but steep hills, so I chose to walk them (which was probably faster than trying to run them) to conserve energy. It worked and I shaved over a minute off April’s PR!

9/29 - CDKG - You Go Girl 10k (1:03:16 / 1:01:13)

Epilogue: After collecting my post race snacks, I went back to my car for the 30 min drive home. My car wouldn’t start. (Side note, I just picked it up after almost 3 full weeks at the auto body shop yesterday.) I found someone nice enough to give me a jump. It didn’t work. So, I had to call a tow truck to take me to the shop, about 2/3 of the way home.

It took forever! When I got to the shop (closed, but the dealership was open), they suggested trying to jump it one more time with their high powered jumper thingy (or whatever it is called). It stared immediately! Mind you, this was 2 1/2 hours and $185 later! I stopped at Costco on the way home to pickup a new battery.

I ordered pizza for lunch (because I was hungry and to bribe my brother to help me swap out the battery) and enjoyed a few slices with a couple glasses of wine. Because...adulting requires wine!

@CDKG I have had two vehicles in the body shop in the past couple years, and both had dead batteries when I picked them up. So annoying. Congrats on the 10K PR!

Congrats to @rteetz, @Wendy98, @baxter24 , and @*DisneyDreamer !

City of Pittsburgh Great Race 10k (40:30/38:52)

The race is a point-to-point course that is predominantly downhill. Was hoping to break 40 minutes. Weather was pretty good throughout the race, cloudy and mid 60s. Ended up with a new PR of 38:52. Set a new 5k PR too. 129/6,003, 13/417 AG.

47 pages and later and finally all caught up. Congrats to anyone who raced recently. Hoping to pop in more frequently now that summer is over.
