    on the spur of the moment (yesterday afternoon) I decided to sign up/run the Big Island International 10k today...finished, upright, not last. I call it a win!

    @MobyCarp great run! I bet many of the people that would have beat you were also thinking about Boston.

    Sadly none of the cattle survived. But yes I am extremely grateful to be walking away from the accident.

    OMG and hugs. I hit a cow a few years ago, my car looked a little better than yours, but was still written off. Looking at that pic, I am so glad you guys drive on the wrong side of the road! I saw the side all caved in and feared the worst, then remembered you would have been on the other side of the car.

    I'm still getting over mine, anytime I see an animal on the road (frequently where I live annoyingly) I get that adrenaline pumping.

    @workaholic_nurse - Oh Wow! I am so glad you walked away from that but I suspect you will be pretty sore in the morning! It is sad about the cows but did the farmer have a reason that they weren't in his field? Growing up in Idaho we had a few (maybe more than a few) times that gates were not secured and cows ended up on the highway, usually at night. It never ended well for the cows and often not for the people in the cars. The farmers also got hit with fines and covering the damage costs.
    @MobyCarp - another fantastic race! Love the bling, especially that hat! So where is your picture with Meb?
    @kgirlhart - what a beautiful place to run!
    @girlinahat - I love that you can ride a train out and then run back! How did it workout with running in the hiking shoes or are they more like trail runners?

    Wow @workaholic_nurse those are ALL the injuries you have from that? Very very lucky. Sorry about the car, but good to have you still with us.

    They were the inov-8 roclite 325 they’re very lightweight hiking mid-boots. So not quite Trail runners. Easy enough to run in due to them weighing little more than a normal pair of running shoes though. I’m not really a heavy boot fan, and prefer to strengthen my own ankles rather than have so-called ‘ankle support’ in a boot.

    @Mobycarp great race! So awesome that you had Meb to pace you, and you can actually say you past Meb Keflezighi in a race!
    @HonuNui congrats on your 10K. That is impressive that you just wake up, sign up, and run a race.
    @simcon1 way to go on your first 5K race! Just over :30 is a great time!
    @eleanorhawkins congrats on you 5K as well. I think you should ask your daughter what she wants to do (not necessarily force her to do a run/walk). Somehow running and family are always seem to cause an argument in my house too. Hope you can work it out.

    Hah! Well done :) That is the best way to do it. No pre-race jitters and doubts if there is no time between sign up and race. :smiley:

    @MobyCarp congrats on a nicely run race that shows how prepared you are for Boston. I'm excited for you. How cool to have Meb as a pacer and to run past him. A friend of mine was just posting that in the Atlanta half marathon she was in a few years ago Meb started last and earned $1 for charity for every runner he passed along the way. He raised $23,000. :smiley:

    @HonuNui congrats on your 10K - I did that "wake up and go run an unplanned race" once for a 10k too (and my only 10k race so far). Having no pre-race expectations or jitters was great.

    @simcon1 and @eleanorhawkins congrats on you 5Ks!!

    This is way in the future (October 2020) but I'm considering doing the I-35 Challenge Kansas City and Des Moines either half or full marathons. You can do any combo, and my friend is planning the full-full combo to get two of her 50 states in. I would do the half-half most likely. Anyone done the I-35? Or just the KC or DSM races? I'm mainly interested because I have friends and family in both places and to support my friend. Not sure how I'd train in terms of having one as a goal race or just trying to survive both. I kind of wish it was this fall because it would be a great goal to work towards now but my friend's marathon schedule is booked way out (she has a 5 year plan to finish the rest of her states). Who are my midwesterners? @7lenny7, @midwesterner (LOL), @kristinegift (former Iowan, right?).

    Congrats to all who raced this weekend!

    @workaholic_nurse Yikes! That looks and sounds like a horrible wreck. I hope you don't feel too beat up today, and your injuries heal quickly. Sorry about the car (and cows) though.

    @workaholic_nurse WOW! So glad you weren't hurt any worse than you were. So sorry about your car. Hopefully your insurance will help you get a new one!

    @MobyCarp Great run! Congratulations on your AG 2nd place - esp. when you weren't really trying to win. That's amazing.

    @kgirlhart Great pictures of your run. A lot of you have such picturesque places to run. I mostly go up and down my driveway. I may need to change that. LOL

    @simcon1 Great race! I hope you find the Garmin works for you. I love mine.

    @eleanorhawkins Great race! One perk of being single is that I don't have issues with family about my running/races. Hope you figure that out so that everyone wins.

    I am fine, some bumps and bruises. The vehicle as you can see is not. The worst part of this is not the accident itself, but the fact that I only had 4 more months to go to pay it off.😖

    Oh no! I'm so glad you were not hurt any worse than what you were!

    This leaves me with two things to consider. The third and final race in the series is a 7km. It was scheduled for the 28th of April, but then the government here decided to call elections for that day, so it's been moved forward to the 31st of March, just 2 weeks away. My easy gradual training plan would have had me ready for a 7km on 28/04. For 31/03 it calls for 5.6km, so just under a mile less than the race. So, considering his lordship's bitching, if my daughter wants to do it for the T-shirt (you have to finish all 3 in the series to get that) I am going to have to walk it with her and let him run (then I will feel justified in bitching myself when he passes out after a couple of miles or DNF or ends up walking even slower than us!). My quandry is, is it fair to try and force her to do some sort of run/walk combination in the hopes she can complete the whole thing that way and I won't come in dead last, or should I just write this one off, walk for my T-shirt and refuse to take them to races with me from now on?
    Oh the joys of families.

    I agree you should ask her if she wants to run some of it. Depending on her age and how fit she is from other activities, she may be able to run more than you think. My daughter (10) really likes to run but doesn't have a lot of time to train due to other sports. But she gets out every now and then with me and could easily walk/run that distance. Probably more tun than walk. If she is interested, she may surprise you!

    Trouble is she's at that age where they know everything (13.5). She can walk it perfectly well, in fact I've been making her walk a lot recently as we're doing a week's hiking holiday along the final 120km or so of the Portuguese variant of the Camino de Santiago at Easter. She could run/walk it perfectly well IF she's listen. BUT she insists on trying to run flat out, gets winded after a couple of minutes then pretends to be dying the rest of the way. Voicing how much she hates running as loudly as possible in the meantime. I really don't know why her father insisted we all sign up for this thing. But then I told her it was ok, that I understand if she doesn't want to do the last one and she said she wants to go. Argh! lol.
    @quilteryoyo believe me there are a lot of times I wish I WAS single.
