A BIG GROSS RUN FOR ME, although some may say my time is good (20:54) I was at least last Friday (before my 5 of 7 night shifts) felt I could break 20 minutes. But it just wasn't in the stars.....Kim on the other hand (I keep getting my speedy friends 9 years my junior to these fun races) did awesome (19:52). I think I am a better coach. So....I am not too down, I really feel I can break 20. The best part about the race was my 1st in Age Category Win. I guess it pays to be 40 : ))))) Mile Splits: 6:49 (uphill), 6:45 (slight downhill), 6:42 (a lot of downhill) After race went out and did another run around the course plus a 1.5 mile warm up before the race. Last two miles were at 7:25 pace.

Hey not shabby at all! It is still a pr! You'll see that sub-20 soon!

CONGRATS again! You're AWESOME! It was so nice to finally meet you in person. THANKS for visiting with me. You are one fast chicka. I don't know anyone who can run as fast as you with NO sleep and fighting with allergies. Darn those smells. You're sub-20 in my book! Get some sleep and celebrate big.

Okay, I realize I need to be more positive....I am hopeful to go to part-time soon....so I can stop being a thorn on the fastrunning blog's side. I live to improve, so I will try harder to be more positive, thanks everyone for even putting up with me this long.

hey julie, great run. i do not think your entries are ever negative in the least bit...it is actually very inspiring to read what you are able to do given your various circumstances. thanks for sharing, it was a fun report to read and you ran an awesome time! great job.

From Julie on Sun, Jun 07, 2009 at 15:58:17 from 63.225.232.205

I'm sorry to hear about your allergies. I think you did amazing. Great job.

From JulieC on Sun, Jun 07, 2009 at 17:08:57 from 67.42.18.222

What I need to be looking at is the fact that, in this race, I ran a PR of over 1:20 from last year!!! I just wish it felt better, when just fifteen minutes before the race I felt really good. It is around 730 am that I have been sleeping my three hours all week, my body was probably in shock : )))) So I am pretty happy with it on reflection. Thanks everyone!!!

Sorry you felt so stinky in the race, I am allergic to perfume to. Although only the really bad one do that to me. Get some good sleep:)
