9/11/11: Buffalo Run

Today we ran the Buffalo Run, 5 miles in Pioneers Park. For those of you who have been to Pioneers, you know how hilly that is.

I was at an advantage because my first 5k was at Pioneers, so I knew what to expect. But there's a big difference between 5 kilometers and 5 miles.

My goal was to get it done in less than an hour:









Out of 587 people, I was 535th to finish. It doesn't sound that impressive at all! But I ran the whole thing - I didn't stop or walk once! Just shuffled along at my 11:18 pace. But hey, I finished it and since I couldn't run half a mile without walking 4 months ago, I'm feeling pretty good.

    Marcia! Congrats on the big 5 Miler! That is awesome! I think you did really well, and I know that you're going to do super amazing on the Half Marathon. You've still got a lot of time, so good luck with all the training!
