Tomorrow the time is here.
I will be running my first 8K for the Childrens Hospital that has helped my son. I am ready and feel really good about doing it.
Just Keep me in your thoughts. The race starts at 745 saturday morning. I usually takes me 50 to 52 minutes to run it. I will be posting pictures and my results tomorrow.

Have a good day,
Christine

Wish I had known earlier...I would have kept an eye out for you.

Hope you had a great time....it was a lot of fun, despite the heat and lack of water out there.

THank you to everyone for the encouragement.
I was able to finish without stopping. I ran it all the way even without that much water. I wanted to come in between 50 and 52 minutes and I was able to come in at 51something. So Im really happy with that.
I will be posting pictures shortly.

Well done and nice time!

I was last waking up and only realized at the last minute that the race stated at 745. I was thinking 8!

So, I got there....sorry I missed you. I finished in around 42 minutes. I stayed aroud after and did get to see Jill.

Good thing we got the run in before the rain, huh?

That course was tough. It was hot and humid. I also couldn't believe there was only one water stop. I could feel it at the end.

I had weight loss surgery. I did it the easy way.

I hear ya...that course was a bit tough. I hate not knowing where aI'm going, too. But, it was cool that some of the people in the neighborhood came out to cheer us on.

And yes, as predicted....I spent time with an icepack on my hip (ugh)...BUT....burned 710 calories.
