Santa Cruz 1/2 Marathon

Posted by synedra on Apr 23, 2005 in Fitness

Well, it was called the half marathon but I only did the 10K course. Still, I managed 13:58 miles which I’m very happy about! We did 15′s on the way out (until the turnaround) so we must have done 13′s on the way back, very nice! After running this race in shoes one size too large I went over to Running Revolution and they video taped me running on the treadmill until we found some perfect shoes for me – new Asics, very comfy!
And there are PICTURES! Actually I also got my pics back from the SF run as well but I need to scan one in… but here are the pictures from the Santa Cruz race:

Me! At the finish line but still smiling. That guy blazing along behind me was doing the 1/2 marathon, so he did his race twice as fast as I did mine. Someday I hope to be fast enough not to be lapped by anyone. Gotta keep those goals attainable :-)

Amy and myself about a mile from the finish. I told her ‘look happy!’ hence her somewhat incredulous expression.

Amy, finishing strong…

Upcoming Races

Posted by synedra on Apr 13, 2005 in Fitness

I’ve been plugging along on my training, working on getting my ‘speed’ up (if you can call it that). This weekend my friend and I did 5K, in preparation for the 10K this weekend. It should be fun, we’re hoping to maintain 15 minute miles although that might be a bit optimistic.
Next month I’m flying down to SoCal to run in the Revlon Run/Walk for Women – this race raises money for outreach programs and research focussing on women’s cancer issues. If you’d like to be a sponsor, please click on the ‘sponsor me’ link in the sidebar. I’m even running a raffle on my knitting blog so you might win something cool while providing money for this important cause.
