Well, didn't win my 5k this morning.

Haha

I did finish 3rd overall, 1st ag in 22:27. I'm a bit in shock over that. Much better than I anticipated. I was hoping to be around 28.

(but I still cannot f'ing fit an anything other than my fat jeans. Blech)

Okay, NOW you are not allowed to whine about your recovery in marathon monday.


Totally kidding. Congrats! That's a pretty amazing performance. 

Haha. I was just getting ready to post this same thing! We may be less understanding now, runblondie26!  

j/k Whine all you want, but not at least until tomorrow. Today, you enjoy that 5k accomplishment!

Congrats - sounds like you seriously rocked it!

Happy New Year ladies! We visited a few friends last night & unfortunately went to bed late enough that I did not get up for a New Years morning run. Womp, womp... I still have hope of getting out for one this afternoon between work stuff. Otherwise I will do a few miles tonight on the TM. I will still exactly make my goal of 28 runs from Thanksgiving - New Year.

BTW - it's about 5 below here today. What's your weather like?

Hope you all enjoy your day!

Lol, this was definitely a confidence boost. Time to shut down my pity party

Bravo Blondie !!! Way to rock it. I guess Boston had better look out for you, speedy mama. :-)

In other news: hi, I'm runaways and I'm day drunk and I'm running 8 miles in a couple hours. Should be fun. I think I will scrap the planned tempo run until tomorrow.

Wheeee! I love day drinking, but it would make running later very unlikely. I had 10 w/4x1200 on the schedule, but it poured all day. I had my fill of rain running last weekend. That means I have to do it tomorrow, followed by 11 Friday. Ugh. I think I should have a drink.

Um, yeah. PSA: Do not do this. Jesus that was miserable. Nothing like burping up champagne around mile 5.

But MAYBE it was a genius idea. Think about how great you'll feel running when you're not drunk on race day.

Actually, I DID think about that. Because the whole time I was like oh my god this is so miserable I'm never going to be able to run a marathon even though I've done it twice before.

And then I realized that on race day I won't be two days off a 22 miler with more than half a bottle of champagne in my stomach. So there's that.
