swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! (Page 303)

Terps421 - 2010-09-19 6:06 AM I ran the West. MD Half Marathon yesterday & came in 1st OVERALL woman.  I have never won an entire race.  I've been 1st Master and AG but never overall.  The last 2 miles felt really good being in the lead. My daughter Katie ran her 2nd race ever and came in 1st for the 5K. It was a sweet.

I did not wear my garmin, I just tried to run by feel.  I felt like I could have run a lot faster most of the race too but did not want to fade so I kept my pace steady. Pacing is something I have to really work on in all 3 events.

Ha!! I have no choice but to stay in my AG! Like it matters to YOU, miss speedy-legs!!!

That said... as I went to sleep last night, I reflected that at age 42, I ran PRs for both the marathon and half marathon and also completed my first Ironman. I think of how many people consider themselves "washed up" in their 30's and have to laugh. I am filled with wonder by the untapped potential in all of us, and I love "hanging out" with a group of peeps who challenge their bodies and minds every day. I am thankful every day for what my body can do -- even on the "less good" days. Here's to another great year!!! Thanks for all you guys do!!!!!!!!!!!

 You are how old?  Ha Happy Birthday!! Have a great day, and go Seahwaks.
I read a quote in this month Triathlete Mag, that said something like "Age is strictly a state of mind" or something like that.
As we get older we can take solice in kicking all the young'ins butts on the course right?

tahrens - 2010-09-18 5:47 PM Happy news to report about my hubby.   Took another 5 minutes off last years time and took 6th in his age group out of 64.  Last year it was 2nd out of 24 but the race has been entered into a competative series where people get points for doing the international today and the half tomorrow.  Really upped the competition level.  My girlfriend Chris (for those of you who met her) also did great,  3:02 for her first race of the year coming off an injury!!!  I am super proud of them both!!!!

Yeah it doesn't look like there are any bigger hotels in the area.

What about these?  http://www.whitelakeholidayresort.com/our-units.html

HAHA, ROFL  I quickly was looking before I left for work, all I saw was the view from their website, and it had 4/5 star reviews I think wherever I was looking.

LOL, where is the nearest Hilton/Marriott?
