1st place female, 6th overall. 1:37:50 officially. 8 minute PR because the only other 25k I've done on the roads was perhaps one of my worst races. Recap of that here, if you're looking to kill ...

Human Race 8k – 29:06, 13 second PR!
I'm pumped to have run a big PR! I wanted to start out a little faster and latch onto a group of faster women. Typically I race from behind, taking the first mile slower and then ramping up my pace. But, that often means I'm not really "racing" with others - I'm ...

New all-time PR - that's 4 for 4 so far in 2011! Although a little slower than my goal (2.5 seconds off of the stadium record), I'm still very happy with it. It was really windy on Saturday (15mph), and I ran solo from the beginning. The next girl was over 30 seconds behind ...

10:23.46!
An all-time personal best indoor 3k for me. And it felt GREAT! I felt completely in control, strong, and smooth the entire race. I hit 41s pretty much every lap (42s were the goal). I'm normally a really consistent pacer, but I was a little surprised by this just because I ...
