Congrats Jen! Nice medal. I can only dream of running 5K as fast as you. I have my first race next weekend here in town.

Good job with the PB Jen! Maybe the runs you missed were a blessing in disguise, providing you with some forced tapering.
I run because it's fun.

3 marathons including Boston twice (PB: 3:47), 6 halfs (PB: 1:45), 6 10k (PB: 46:41) and 3 5ks (PB: 21:00)

Those are really nice photos!

The one of the winner freaks me out though! It looks like he is missing the bottom half of his leg!

And what is he wearing? It looks like a skirt??? :shock: That doesn't freak me out though - just the leg thing.

Great job Jen!
I used to run. All the time.
Now? Notsomuch.
I'm still a runner, though.

It does, thanks. It took a lot of patience. Now the trick is to not fall into that hole again this year.
