I ran my first half marathon in Missoula MT on Sunday! I alternate between walking and running and finished in 3 hours...15 minutes faster than I was hoping. Loved it! Amazing atmosphere and beautiful scenery along the route...even if I had to be up at 3 am to get ready. Also did their 3 mile beer run Friday night and their 5K, in the rain, on Saturday. It was an awesome weekend.

I ran a 15k this past weekend, the Utica (NY) Boilermaker. It was hot, too crowded and kind of miserable. I expected to be faster but I guess everyone has off days. I want to redeem myself next year though!

Mine was a beautiful run. The Pear Fair 5-miler, in the small town of Courtland, CA.
Courtland is located down along the Sacramento River. Population 355.
The race had no starting gun and no strip you cross to activate your chip. The school principal (or somebody official) simply said: On your mark, get set, GO!
And a cheer rose up from the small knot of spectators (a small voice): "Go poppa!"
It's all pear trees everywhere you look. We ran along a dirt road through the orchards. They warned us about bees before the race. Fortunately, no one got stung -- not that I know of.
It was warm and swallows swirled overhead and the air smelled of the country.
Afterwards, pear pie, pear fritters, pear pancakes, etc., were had by all.
Mighta been the best race I have ever been to.

@Wendy98 Even if it was a tiny race, 19:11 5K is awesome! Way to go!!

Thames Path Challenge, 100km. 15:02. Couple of injuries around 70km and 85km made it a painful finish but I am so happy with the achievement.
Didn't hit "the wall" at any point and also managed to somehow avoid any of the mental "I was to stop now" problems.
Just looking forward to having a week of relaxing.

Suwanee Fest 5K and 10K this weekend. Not a highly competitive race set, but I like doing the back-to-back and it fits my training for an end of October half marathon.

5K was mildly intentionally slow (24:00/7:45) 22nd overall, 2nd in my age group.

10K wasn't as fast as I would have liked (47:12/7:36) 6th overall, won my age group. Only part of the race that makes me mad ... if I had just run the 10K and hit it at my Peachtree Road Race pace (43:16).......I would have won it.

Forgot to post. Ventura Marathon in California. Didn't reach my primary goal of under 3 hours but still PR'd with a 3:03:32! I will keep chipping away at it.

Clarendon HM today, trail run that's the latter half of a Marathon between Salisbury and Winchester (the originals).

Hard going with some cheeky elevation but I managed a 2:13, slightly slower than I'd hoped for but my training has been off form for a couple of months due to changes in my working pattern.

I ran the Runner's Flat 50K. Consisted of two loops with a water crossing by canoe. I felt really strong and was easing my way up to the front and had the master's division clinched and felt strongly that I could have gotten into 3rd overall if not 2nd. Then I came up to the canoe crossing a third time! I don't know how I missed the turn and then reentered the trail behind myself but I did. Backtracked too far and still missed the turn, had to walk and figure out where I was at before I found myself. Ended up adding a couple of miles and losing my podium finish. 9th overall, 3rd in masters. Outside of getting lost, I had a wonderful race and after race festivities. Stayed to the end and congratulated the last runner across the finish line (a woman who came all the way from Australia, not sure if she came for the race or just happened to be here in the states) She gave me a big hug after crossing.
