Age: 51 Gender: Female Bloomington, Minnesota, USA
I hadn't run in years and last year (2008) decided to do the Trail Mix Race 50K. It was a team event--we each ran 12.5K. It was so much fun, I decided to run more & train for this year's race. The training helped, I improved and am looking forward to more training & racing.
This summer (2009), I attended the Run SMART Running Retreat in Flagstaff, AZ. It was wonderful--inspiring; a learning experience; lots of new friends; and all around well-organized and executed. I hope to return next year.
I enjoy recumbent bicycling (I have a Burley HepCat), running trails, climbing hills, and weight training. I need to improve my endurance most of all. Run for fun AND health!

Mini Report for Shakopee Derby Days 2009 5K Turf Run: Run/5K Added a Mini Report.
Saturday, 08/01/2009 — Shakopee, MN
This was a "B" Race for me.
I rated my performance a 4 out of 5.
Race Notes: This was my first 5K ever, so this is a PR. I thought I would be OK on the terrain because I train on trails. I was wrong. The turf (about 6" high grass) had tons of horse hoofprints & divets (it is a turf racetrack for horses, after all!) in it, so was very uneven, although cushy. My calves were HURTING! I ran backwards at one point to try to relieve them. The race volunteers were very encouraging and it was a really fun race. I hope to do this race again next year (with a faster time!).

Mini Report for St. Michael River Run 5K 2009: Run- 5K Added a Mini Report.
Saturday, 08/22/2009 — St. Michael, MN
This was a "C" Race for me.
I rated my performance a 4 out of 5.
Race Notes: It was a perfect day for running, but I was a little tired. This course was mostly on roads or sidewalks and was pretty flat. I felt really good for the first mile and went out at a good pace, even though I knew this would cause a slower pace for mile 2. All things considered, I was very happy with the outcome.
