Parade run fun!
By Kim • Aug 7th, 2008 • Category: Kim's Training Log
The parade run was everything I expected it to be. I was worried about parking, so I got there around 1630. I registered and got my chip. I was so glad Allison was an early bird too.
I wanted to do 2- 6:30miles. I started running and looked at my garmin “6:00 min/miles” too fast. You get caught up in the run. I settled into a nice 6:30 pace, trailing jack until the turn around. I slowed down a bit on the last mile. I was running a 6:49 when I looked.
I ended up finishing with a 13:25. I wanted to finish under 13:30, so I was happy. This was by far my fastest time. I think I ran a 13:50 the last time I ran this race. I won 1st in my age group!
After the race I enjoyed a few import beers. Just what I needed. Congrats to all the winners, especially to Allison! You go girl!
Good job last night Kim. I too had an import. Hooray beer! See you at Abe’s!
You rock! You are getting faster and faster. I cant keep up with you anymore. I need to start speed training next year.
Aaron, is that a picture of you wearing a shirt? I almost didn’t recognize you. I’m used to the sans-shirt look.
I wear a shirt on occassion. As the weather cools off I’ll wear shirts more often after races but I probably won’t wear a shirt in a race until Shoreline in late September.
Thanks, Kim! AWESOME job to you — you really kicked some butt! Love the pics! I will see you Sunday for Abe’s, either running or cheering Kelly and I on
