Let The Run Begin: Our First Results Are In.

Due to travel. I went out this Friday and got my run in.
9.37 Miles in 96.37 minutes. Not bad. I expect many of you will do better when they clear the traffic off the highway.

Don't forget to send Deb your results. debwdw@gmail.com

I certainly am looking forward to Marcelin but I must admit I am anxious to return and see how everyone has done.

PRIDE!!!

We had some reports of cold and flu like symptoms out there this weekend. Hope those pf you affected get well soon. We do have some reported times and are expecting to see a few more today. Congrats to those who have finished.

DebWDW said...: Due to missing two weeks of training because of the virus, and a weekend wedding in Cleveland, I only managed a measly 2.2 miles on Sunday. But it was actually easier than I thought, after not training for so long. I think I'll try to do my real Apple Run this coming weekend, along with Jonathan.; September 23, 2008 at 2:56 PM
