Just to clear the air


Ok, so I am soooo honest and can NEVER take credit for something that I have not done.
You see, you know those runners you hear about who take a car, drive almost half a race and just JUMP in the end to claim the prize?
yah, you know them. I COULD NEVER DO THAT!!!
I like to know that I work hard for something.
So my last half marathon in KELOWNA, is bugging me!
My PB time was set in Kelowna (the time was 1:32:35) but the distance was off, so I need to set the records straight.
The distance was off by .3 of a mile.
That is like 2 to 3 minutes off folks.
So I recalculated and with my average of 7:15 per mile for that race, it sets me at like a 1:35 half, which is still my PB.
According to my GARMIN, the race was 12.8 miles.
And now, speaking of stats:
I checked out my stats from the Hawaii half that I ran on Sunday and thought I would share them with ya'll.
My husband is going around BRAGGING to EVERYONE that I got SECOND place!
I did get second place, but not in the whole race folks!

HERE ARE THE OFFICIAL STATS:

There were 992 people in the whole race. I was 76th out of 992.
There were 481 females in the whole race. I was 7th out of 481.
There were 86 females aged 30 to 34 in the whole race; I WAS SECOND.

So there ya have it folks.
Oh, and I lied in the post right before this one too.
My official time at the Hawaii half marathon was 1:37:55seconds.

Whew, I am sure glad that I got all of that off of my chest.
My bra size is going down folks.
And my nose is longer than Pinocchio's.

I like the sounds of this... I really really like the sounds of this. The longer it takes you to run a half, the closer I can get to finishing with you one day.

In ten years.

Hey, my 5k went alright. I finished in 23:19 pushing the stroller. It was a flat course. I will soon be in the cold too. I am going home to Connecticut for Christmas.
