Yes I ran the half, ran a PR of 1.54.24, had a great race. This race was far above any other race in Pensacola. Mile markers people at the water stations all the way to not being a big beer bash at the end with everyone getting drunk. I had a great time and will run again next year.
Glad you ran Snoopy, I bet your hoding your head up high as you should be, that is a awesome job. I bought me a new pair of shoes and wore them for the race and my leg did great. Got a pair of assics gt 2110.
Not sure which station you were at Beve but I was real impressed at each one how well and chearful the job they were doing, made my race a great race. Thanks so much.

thanks bevie

i am sooo glad to hear that your dh surgery was a success and he is doing soo well.. i am sure you let out a big ol sigh afterwards.. i am sure it is a big relief just having it done and over with and now with such great progress thats terrific..

not much running goin on here ...kind of letting my injury heal up ... kinda lost now that my goal is over and no running is driving me insane...but then i read your post and it puts it all in perspective.. so i can run for a couple weeks big deal...

i was noticing i don't have a 10k race...i have done 5k's , 15k's , halfs and one marathon but not one 10k...so i might be doing the fiesta.. .

Belated congratulations Chuck & Val.
I haven't been here all week. My husband had his heart surgery at University of Alabama Medical Center, Birmingham, this week. We just got home last night. The surgery was a big success, but he is very weak and tired, and I think he is having side effects of all the medications he is taking. Hopefully he'll be feeling better in a couple days. He is supposed to walk every day, and he managed a slow 14 minutes on the treadmill this afternoon. He is convinced that being a runner in good condition helped him thru the surgery.
I'll check in with y'all ina couple days. Happy Mardi Gras!

I don't know how ready I am but I'm racing. I've been working 12's this week and not much running, only 1 run of 6 miles and now I'm sick to my stomach. Hopefully I'll be fine. I'm running the half.

hey chuck you was your race.?.. i started out really good then my injury (which i guess wasn't completely healed came back after someone stopped dead infront of me so they could throw their cup away in the trash.. arghh so i really aggrivated it coming to a complete stop so suddenly or else i would have knocked her over.. so i had to walk down the last bridge of all things it hurt to go down my favorite part lol..so i came in really close to the end..but i finished and thats all that matters right? lol

anyway i did finish but didn't get to enjoy afterparty b/c my of my tendinitis... guess i am done running for a couple of weeks so my marathon is out.. right now i just want to be able to walk painfree i have small toddlers to chase around ...
so now i guess its back to the trail on my bike
happy trails

Bevie have a fun and safe trip.. hope your able to run with too much problem...

I am going to try my best to do this race.. i have run over the beach bridge several times but never the bob sykes bridge.. did a long run of 12 yesterday.. first one since my tendinits and i am still having issues with my foot today.. so hopefully i will be able to run it....

i wll probably have to come to terms that i won't be running the marathon now unless a miracle happens it taper time and my long run of 18 miles is all i have ... i am happy though with all i have acoomplished... i went from no running a year ago to running hm s..... i just dont' want it to be work i want it to be fun like it used to
