I did what Kristi suggested for the last 2K's, picked people to pass and I did, it gave me the focus as I was getting a bit tired.



...way to push it in...and great advice given to you!

Nice one..!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, how can any time be 1:11:08ish? Sounds pretty precise to me.

But that time is ancient history as you have a sterling new PB. Way to go!

The 60 minute barrier is now in sight.....

(Kristi's trick works much better when you have Brendan running beside you stage-whispering in your ear, "go get 'er, Pitbull!")
Next Up in 2010:
April - 21K de Montreal
May - Cabot Trail Relay Race, Legs 6&7

Wow, that is a HUGE improvement from last year, and the fact that you got a PB on that course really shows how much fitness you've gained this past year. Way to go!

Cheers,

Excellent time Lesley!
Sweet PB!
I used to run. All the time.
Now? Notsomuch.
I'm still a runner, though.

I just have to chime in AGAIN..and say..awesome job Lesely.
The Zoo is not an easy course for a PB..stairs, bridge, narrow paths, gravel, sharp turns, crowded lanes and animal distractions. You rocked it!!

Congratulations Lesley.
Your conditioning is really paying off and a sub-60 is within reach. Go for it! Well done on a strong finish picking off runners one by one.
Regards,
Turtle Luc :)

I think it comes from having to outrun guys who want to keep her in turtlenecks!!! Congrats CK!!! Sub 1 hour won't be long!!
No one cares what I would do; therefore, I can do anything!!

I ran 42.2k; Let's see the other donald try to trump that
