Marg Rattles her Bones to a 5km PB
Marg Rattles her Bones to a 5km PB
Just a real quick report as this is likely my last race of the season... I think. I wanted to PB in every distance for 2008 and mission is now accomplished.
25:52 is good for almost 2 minutes off my modern era PB, which was set in Paris in 2006.
I wanted to bring it in closer to 25 minutes so I'll work on this. The slowest km was the first because the crowd was very tough to navigate through. Nick found me about 1km in on the course and stayed along side. I kept to my zone and my music though but it was good to know there was support beside me, thanks Nick.
One thing about the 5km, it hurts from the first step to the last. But I was ready for that. I just have to work in improving my time.
After I finished, I back tracked to find Mich on the 10km course. It was a real pleasure to run with her and Lorne to bring her to her finish. Bravo lady!
As always, great to see our orange family members out there, and I think a few PBs were achieved.
Great to finally meet Tall who is wicked fast.

Congratulations, Marg, on yet another PB this year ... And, to think, I was at all of those races, in one form or another ....

A PB in every distance!?! WOW!!!
I would definitely say you had an awesome year! Congrats!
And I love your line about 5 km's hurting. So true. When I ran the Beethoven 1/2 a few weeks ago, I actually looked over at the guy besude me and said "I could really get used to this comfortable pace". Each race is a beast in its own way.
