 Run
Comments: Can't wait until I step it up! I know its in me. I can feel it. I haven't been training. My run was okay. I had alittle bit of a stitch. I'm getting better at dealing with breathing into them. Base Base Base!!! I was seeded well, no problems. I just want to be faster! LOL What would you do differently?: hmm....pick my feet up!! Everytime i see photos of my run, looks like i'm weighted down! Also, I seemed to be so out of sync with the other BT'ers. I couldn't find them, didn't know what their race times were to go see them, at the finish, etc. I should have been more responsible ahead of time! Sorry guys. I have been too attentive to the forum lately. I did however get a great photo of us (Glen, JoAnne, Max, Amanda, JoAnne, and May) when I finally found you, i'll post. Thanks Glen for guiding me in. Kathy, I saw you run by with Rob!!! Woohoooo. Denise....I didn't see you!!  Post race
Warm down: Stretching felt great. Changed into dry clothes...I LOVE the feeling of dry clothes right after the race. :) What limited your ability to perform faster: me! me! me! need to train!!! base...base...base. Event comments: A great race and a great venue. My kids were with me, I was running, life is good. Next time, I'll try to do a better job in hooking up with the other BT'ers.

Your race looked very good, especially since you say you haven't been training! Keep it up! PS. Your kids are SOOOOO CUTE! |

Amanda and I were looking around to try to find you. And your pace is similar to Amanda's! Anyways, glad you did it, and a great race! |

Extreme Veteran 423 Boston, MA | Subject: RE: Boston's Run to Remember 5 Mile Great run! Just something that I did yesterday to help with my feet. I focused on my footstrike going up hill. I found that I was picking up my legs more and it helped my up the hills. It's just alittle thing, but it seemed to help me. |

I'm doing a 5 mile race in Taunton in 2 weeks...on a Sunday if you are interested...I have it listed on my race schedule. Bummer again we don't see each other...geez we live like 10 minutes apart. Long runs on any given Saturday? I'm doing a hour bike/3 mile bike brick this Saturday if you are interested. Nice pace... |

I had hard boiled egg white, toast with peanut butter and coffee. Woke up the kids, head out about 6:15am. We stopped at Dunkin Donuts, but just for the kids. I brought the toast and peanut butter with me. Got to the WTC, parked and found a table to call 'base' for the kids. Called Max, but I couldn't seem to find the gang. Met up with my friend Kristy, and we thought out her layers. I was happy with the two layers I had on and felt i'd be okay. Drank some water.
Lined up at the 10 min/mile pace area, and just did a bit of jogging in place. I did alot of waving to my babes, who went up on the bridge to watch.
