Home for the Holidays Virtual 10K

Just finished running my #HolidayVirtual10K. Start time was 11:30am CST. Temp 34F, sunny, with a 10MPH SW wind. Nice day for a race, but the weather, along with no snow, sure doesn't make it feel like Christmas Eve in Wisconsin.
Had one person with about 1K to go yell out, "Nice day for a run, keep going". Motivated me to step up the pace and finish strong. 
Ran the USATF - America's Running Routes - LARC fun run, Waterford 10k loop
Results: Time of 51:55 minutes, ~8:21/mile

Signed up for a Virtual 10K

Just signed up for the Home for the Holidays Virtual 10K race. What a fun idea. I am glad the directors, Ashley from Healthy Happier Bear, Robin from Westford Mommy, and Stephanie from Run for Fun put this together. And the detail they put into the Activity Waiver & Terms and Conditions is amazing. Looking forward to running my race, most likely on Christmas Eve. I'll post my race here shortly after. And all because I check Twitter once in awhile. Okay, maybe more than once in awhile, lately.

I'm back, or more accurate, still here

Oh my goodness, it's almost the end of 2011 and I still haven't run my second marathon. Back in 2009, I had my focus on the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon and was training to run it with Andy. Well Andy ended up breaking a bone in his foot just after my last 2009 post and I got side tracked and never made it to Green Bay that spring. I see for 2012, because of the Lambough Field renovations, that the Marathon won't go through the stadium, so I'll pass on it again. I mean I want to run through the stadium if I am going to do it.

As for me, I am still running strong and injury free. The blog has sat idle since March 2009, but the title is still relevant. I do still plan to run a second marathon sometime in the future. Race venue and date yet to be determined.
