NITA...I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!  How amazing! 

Take it easy the next 20 days - and kick Jerry's a$$ in Nashville

Pooh.  All I did was work all weekend.

Way to go Nita!  And you're feeling OK and ready to go for CMM!  Of course, you might have had that time at MCM if you hadn't kept taking potti breaks.  I know I'm not ready for a good time at CMM, 4:30 if things go well.  But I'll work on all that over the summer and maybe we'll all be good for 4:00 at MCM.

Kat - Pittsburgh is the "On the road" city for the May Runners World.  They gave 3 sample runs and nowhere did they mention hills!

I love you too, Lauren. 

Holy **** Nita!!!!!  That is freaking daggone outstanding Devil Dog!!!  At this point I am kneeling and bowing down to you, you freaking rocked!!!  I am super excited for you, Brenda even had to lean over and read what I was so excited about....LOL   Now I gotta start training harder so I can at least beat either you or Jerry on my next marathon, which will be San Diego. 

U still running next Saturday?  Let me know when/what time and I'm game.  I was out there today for 16 and the first 12 were good, probably under 9 min pace but then the heat and humidity got to me and I got lazy and started walking/running and finished 16 in 2:38 which I guess is about a 10 min mile avg pace.  I love that park, I saw at least two Ferraris, a Ford GT, a RR, couple of Maseratis, and a couple of Bentley's, then of course tons of Jag, Bmers, and Benz....

Brenda did 3 with Chachis and waited for me to finish, she even gave me a high five on one of my laps when I passed her, that was cool

Anyways, so happy for you congratulations and go kick everybody's a$$ but Jerry's at CMM....   (Hey, it's still a girls vs boys thing right?)

4:26 on a "training" run.! I know you are happy. That's a great accomplishment.

My only conversation with Franco Harris came after a great hilly run in 1978; he was even wearing an Allegheny shirt during that era of their fabulous runners.......

Awesome Run Nita! And congrats on your 3rd place finish!

Amazing that you still finished that well with the walking/slow pace the last four miles.  You took the approach as a training run and it gave you double benefits...A great confidence booster and ...You know you can kick but at CMM!  under 4 is in your sights!
