In May, my sister got me excited about the idea of running a 1/2 marathon and we decided to all do the Madison 1/2 marathon in August. After running a 10k in February, I knew that I could train to do it but was unsure if I had enough time to get up to that distance. After talking to my doctor, he felt I should wait until I lost more weight before doing a 1/2. So, I signed up for the 5k.
Since I am still banned from exercise, I spent my weekend cheering on my friends and family as they completed the Madison 1/2 marathon and 5k. It was a BEAUTIFUL morning and everyone posted a PB. The after party was held at the union terrace - it was perfect.
Dave, who was celebrating his birthday did a very fast 5k. I almost missed him as he was so quick.
Scab ran the 1/2 in 1:50 (PB).
Stain ran his first 1/2 in 1:50. (show off!)
My sister ran the 1/2 in 2:35 - a PB that took almost 2 minutes off of her last 1/2.
*Can you name the movie?
Good job everybody. I have to laugh at myself as I'm thinking 'peanut butter' for the PB. Well, you usually talk about food, so I was in that mode. Good for Paula to continue to that finish line. You are awesome. I did see the after effects on your body as you walked very slowly (very very) into our home to collect your prize (E&W). :-)
