"I just run as hard as I can for 20 miles, and then race." - Steve Jones (after winning Chicago Marathon in the then world's best time)

Thought that was pretty funny. Now that's how I'd like to be able to run. Not being the fastest, but being able to run all out like that.

The first time you do something - It's going to be a personal record!

My Road ID necklace says "I run because I can", well, because I run, because I can - LOL!!!

I bought a sticker at the RNR Phoenix marathon that says, "I know I run like a girl. Try to keep up."

It was cool for me because at the last tri I did, I passed a couple of guys on the run.

Hmmm, I know I'm going to get passed my woman -- I just try to 'enjoy' the experience. When they're like Scott's eye candy it's all the better!!!!!

I'm far from eye candy, but one of the guys I passed came up to me later and was talking about the race. He said, "I thought I was doing pretty good, but you must be a runner." He said he heard me catching up to him and was a little surprised to see that I was a woman.

I'm not ever trying to make anyone feel badly (especially the guys), but I like to do my best...

I love passing guys. And people older than me.

Yeah but it's also demoralizing getting passed by the 10 year old kid on the huffy bike ;-) thankfully that hasn't happened, but I have had them pass me on the run. That just takes the wind out of the sails.

Hey, I got beat by a dog once.

In the tris, I tell myself that they must be members of a relay team and that's why they are passing me.

Yeah well I was running a 5k race, and I was beat by a guy running the 10k distance of the same race, and he was pushing twins in a baby jogger.

That was motivational......

I was only beat by a mom pushing one kid in a stroller.

I beat all the walkers though.

Thank goodness!
