Cave People Unite 10K Report

I got it done, early due to the tri this weekend, and my last long run closely looming before Cleveland it was the ideal day. I only had five miles on the schedule, but I can always go the extra mile & the .2 for Nanc!!
I chose Yolanda. I think Marcy came up with her name, but it's so suiting that I could'nt picture calling her anything else. The whole time I was running with her she kept blabbing how much she was looking forward to running with Marcy since they pace equally. Ugh what a show off!

It was foggy 72 degrees, and 85% humidity.

A fallen tree in the path. Nobody told me there would be hurdles at this race.

At times I felt like I was running through a rain forest.

A new 10K PR 1:15:57.

Yaa, I finished!

The signature model angry pout pose.

The shins are sore from the high mileage last week, and already 11.2 this week. For a 3x a week runner that calls for RICE and a swim tomorrow. Don't laugh at my pink flowered cotton lingerie. It's my sexy knee length SAHM one. HAHAHA! Notice how Yolanda and I have S.A.S. (skinny ankle syndrome).

There is still plenty of time if you want to hit this race. The race director is supah sweet! Just go to Nancy's blog, pick a pacer. Then post a comment on her blog or e-mail her, and post a report on your blog. Nancy then posts a race report on her blog, and you can check out other bloggers reports. OK I think I hit my limit on saying Nancy today. HAHAHA!

You look sooooo adorable, all purple and all! I'm lucky if I have matching clothes on if I run. You did AWESOME! Way to go and you don't even look exhausted after that run. I'd look like CRAP. That's why I don't take pics of myself afterwards. Happy Mother's Day!
