It's a mostly trail race with a really steep climb between miles 6 and 8.5. My time: 2:30:53, 11:32 pace, 930th place! Woo-hoo, I can haz champeenship!

1. Congratulations!
I just found this group and with spring here, I plan to do a lot more exercising.
Today I went rollerblading for an hour. I plan to go twice a week and build up my speed and endurance.

2. oooh, rollerblading, great exercise
Keep that up and you will have legs like Tina Turner! It's great for balance, too.

Be sure to check in when you need encouragement!

You trained hard for this & it paid off. I can't imagine running for two hours. You must be in monster shape!
