Paddy's Road Race, 10/21/07



Paddy's Road Race - 3 miles
West Newton, MA
October 21, 2007

Overall official times:
Gun time - 30:45; Chip Time - 30:45

Obviously something is wrong here, since I started in the back. Thank goodness I had on my watch and timed it.

REALITY TIME = 29:31
Pace = 9:50 min mile

Was looking to do under 10 min miles since I haven't been running. So, this is good for this race. After the Tufts 10K, I self-diagnosed plantar facsitis (sp?) and I haven't been running. This was a fun race, but my foot hurt afterwards.

Thanks to Andy for the post-race tail gate!!!

Here's a funny photo of me from the race. While I haven't been running, I put on about 5 lbs. But, I just joined Master's swimming and started lifting so I'm sure that will help the issue.

Well that's a flattering photo, isn't it? Were you trying to scare off trick-or-treaters? (I'd do that so I could eat all their candy *evil grin*)

Thanks for your nice comment on my blog. There is only one thing I need for my Mom, a cure. So if you can help with that I'd be grateful. :)

Hey, you look determined, and you did fabulously!

I'm finally getting myself together again. Are you doing any of the local Turkey Trots next week?
