I think the only reason I placed so well in the 5K was because everybody else was running the half. When I saw the Triple Crown medals (http://www.dailymile.com/people/SDrunner/photos/8028) I think that finally convinced me to start training for the half.

I read your entry first thing yes...Great race Lisa! I read your entry first thing yesterday morning on my blackberry, but too hard to comment there. I think it is so amazing that you can easily finish under two hours even when you are not running your fastest! And of course, your pace was faster than you give yourself credit for if you actually ended up running 13.34 miles! :) Thanks for the birthday wishes yesterday. Now that the Anacortes half is over, I have two or three races coming up in September. (I signed up for them in the excitement of good training runs earlier this summer. :) They are the Fairhaven 15K (Bellingham) on Sept. 12, the Bellingham Half Marathon on Sept. 27, and probably a YMCA 5-mile race in between, on the 19th. No time to slack off now! :)Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01325119755927336119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918472490658203767.post-24104237354227972562009-08-20T08:02:42.094-07:002009-08-20T08:02:42.094-07:00YAY for you!

I'm still working on trying to find just one of those good times in the half (and the marathon too, for that matter)! But seriously, great job out there, Lisa! Meeting your gold goal on a tough course is something to be REALLY proud of!<br /><br />And for the record, I have yet to hear my name while crossing the finishline of any race . . . why don't they like us?! :)<br /><br />Congrats again!!Irish Creamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17548744329403082452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918472490658203767.post-8286876535851972712009-08-20T05:48:22.430-07:002009-08-20T05:48:22.430-07:00Great race report!

You are clearly a great coach!<br /><br />It's a tough race to PR in since they don't really hold people to starting in pace groups. I mean, I was passing people in the first two miles who were already walking...and you passed ME! So you had to just know that there were some slow runners up front (and I didn't think we were that far up)!<br /><br />Yay for post-race mimosas! Aren't they THE BEST!
