I just shaved a ton of time off my 10-mile run PR.

I haven’t run more than 9 miles since last year’s half marathon, but I ran 10 last weekend.

And shattered my old 10 mile PR! By 14 minutes.

Check it out — here are my race times (some are embarrassing — note that my mile time for the marathon is my WALKING pace, though I didn’t walk!).

[previous 10 mi time — Capital Pursuit 2008]
[last Saturday’s run — note the epically fast ending at 6:41/mi]

I am definitely giving myself props. And bragging rights.  Not to mention that it was 95° out on Saturday compared to the 50° 2 years ago.  YAY!

    Hi!
    I just found your site while searching through craftsters forum ‘Tips for Participating in Craft Fairs- Pictures of craft fair set up.’

    When you mentioned that your set up was for Market Day I had to check out your other stuff. I live in Nevada, IA which is just east of Ames.

    Congrats on your new PR! I just started running last August and have been hitting some road blocks, but I signed up for my first race in Elma in July. It’s a 5k and I hope I can do it because I also signed up for the Air Force half marathon in September.

    Nice to “meet” you!
