    Congrats on the great races this weekend!

    I had a great race and beat 2 of my goals (under 2:27, my previous PR & under 2:25). My profile pic is me (in the middle) and 2 of my sisters just before the start. The one in the blue long sleeves was 80th out of nearly 2,000 - that's the top 4%! She is incredible! My other sister ran her first half and also did awesome, she finished in 2:01. Our third sister couldn't run with us, but we're working on getting her there next year!

    Instead of medals we got jewelry:

    @SonicDeathMonkey80 - wow! Those splits are beautiful! Great job!
    @Nottafattie - That is fantastic! I love to run with my kids, when they feel like it. I am sure that his parents appreciate your help and know you feel great for doing it!

    4/1 - Nice 3.1 miles on indoor track
    4/2 - Brutal 4.75 miles of "hilly" treadmill
    4/4 - 10 miles, nice mix of hills
    4/6 - 4 miles on indoor track
    4/8 - 4 miles on indoor track (33:16...pretty speedy for me)

    4/10 - 4 miles on indoor track
    4/12 - 11 miles, on the windy side, but otherwise nice
    4/13 - 2 recovery miles - maybe should have skipped it...ouch!

    4/15 - 4 miles on indoor track
    4/16 - 5 miles on treadmill (nice mix of hills, tempo and a few short "sprints")
    4/17 - 4 miles on indoor track; weather forecast is making the 12-miler for the weekend look difficult to get in :/
    4/18 - 10.4 miles; managed to squeeze in a shorter run than I planned between the thunderstorms
    4/20 - 4 miles on indoor track

    My spring goal 1/2 marathon is on Sunday, so this week won't be too strenuous. Hoping for a BIG PR; my last race PR is 1:58:28 for a half, and I'm hoping to get around 1:50 this weekend. And with a race day forecast with sunny skies and a high of 60, I think it's more than doable!

    Crappy progress... covered lots of miles "running" to and fro with kiddos to all of their events. Just no time for Mom to put the sneakers on the pavement for those nice, stress relieving, real running miles :)

    60 miles for me. SO far I think I have run 20, so I better put the pedal to the metal. Doing the math, I may only hit 50, but I am staying hopeful!

    There were 2 turnarounds on the course. It was through a greenway around Fowler Park in Cumming, GA. I swear, I do not make up the names of these towns.
