    4/19 - 13.1 miles @ Gazelle Girl Half Marathon, 2:24:10, new PR!

    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:

    @Daisy471 - congrats on the PR! Love that you and your sisters run together! I wish I could get my brother on-board.
    @Stoshew71 - you continue to amaze and motivate! Good job!

    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.
