Happy Running ...

Tinker

Thanks Tinker! Kelton and I are excited about this run and neither of us are trained right now for this distance!

Its our first trail run and our first MS50 experience so we are pretty pumped. We both love the great outdoors so gonna just try to enjoy it as much as possible and get a good workout together running as much of the distance as possible.

Encouragement from fellow Pacers is ALWAYS good!

Thanks, Christy

Have a great run in the Mississippi 50! break a leg! (well...not textually! )
I am lazy! I am not ready anymore for 20k, 50K, or 50m races. I will be running only 10K tomorrow in Vicksburg in the 30th edition of the Run Thru History < http://www.runthruhistory.org/ >
See you all next Friday at the USM Gateway.

Getting ready to walk out the door. I think I am going to be sick. I don't know why I am so nervous, it's not like I can get a decent time for this distance on the trail. OK, I have my goal in my mind, and I have my top secret goal in mind. I will keep you posted.

Okay, I have hosed my trail shoes off, eaten enough food to fill up an elephant, so I can sit and contemplate the trail run. I made my goal, I ran it a little faster than last year, and I ran it faster than I did Stennis. (I could have walked it faster than I ran Stennis). I did not make my top secret goal, but I am actually ok with that, because it was hotter this year and I felt like I had to put more effort just to keep myself going. So, I am pleased, and I look forward to next year.

There was a great crowd of Pacers!! The Turner's were there!! They could not get a cross country trail stroller, so the littlest Turner stayed home!! They finished their first trail run in good spirits and with a smile!! I think Frank B. enjoyed running this event, and I believe he is still there assisting. Vicki and Dawn fell, (Dawn is making this her yearly event), Vicki did not want her to fall alone, however I hear she did it with such grace and style, her fellow runners were rating her a 10 for her "drop and roll"!! Phillip W. was there and hung with me for a while, and this year, he made it without falling!! Kily, well, he was so jazzed, he is ready to convert to an ultra trail runner!! Kelly, who I may have to refer to as "mini Ginny", ran faster this year, and then, because her training called for more miles, ran 4 more, just for fun!! Terry L., well, what can you say? He is just amazingly fast and was up there in the top 4. I know I have left out some Pacers, I apologize. My brain and body are still trying to catch up. It is all moving a littlle slow. I met a lot of new Pacers and hope to see them at future events.

There was something for everyone, and WOW I bow to those 50k and 50 milers!! One loop on that trail is enough for me!! Oh, there was even some "critter" excitement!! A horse became spooked and ran down the road. Luckily no one got hurt!! Anyway, a good day for a run!!

Thanks for the report Audrey. It sounds like everyone had a good time.

Ok trail runners, now you are ready, how about the Country Music Marathon half on April 25th.

oh did i fall! falling is easier than running, and i seem to do it better! it was fun as always, even though i didn't feel that great - stomach issues. i feel good today, will rest, and relax. back to the work tomorrow.
