So I don't even remember seeing the mayor.  Good race today!  I did better than I thought I would.  Rachelle did awesome and crushed the sub 20 goal!  Way to go!

From Burt on Sat, May 05, 2012 at 11:28:45 from 72.223.82.180

Oh I've got the pregnant accusations flying all over the blog today :)

From Jake K on Sat, May 05, 2012 at 13:21:34 from 67.182.215.126

Yeah where was the mayor? I could have beaten him!

Nice meeting you (briefly) this morning!

From Merri on Sat, May 05, 2012 at 13:26:21 from 160.7.252.148

Thanks Jake! It was nice to meet both you & Andrea! Burt don't be jealous but I saw Allie & Fiddy-cent too.

From Andrea on Sat, May 05, 2012 at 13:37:16 from 67.182.215.126

Nice to meet you Merri! Great job today - well below your 21 minutes :)

From Merri on Sat, May 05, 2012 at 13:49:56 from 160.7.252.148

Thanks Andrea! I need to get back into the racing scene and try to break a 19 min 5k :)

From Oreo on Sat, May 05, 2012 at 13:52:41 from 174.27.132.43

Great job!! You've been sandbagging again I see..

From Rachelle on Sat, May 05, 2012 at 14:19:38 from 66.7.127.115

You totally killed it today Merri! Wow you should be incredibly proud of yourself. I was planning to see a 7 on my garmin that first mile since you said thats what you were going for. haha yeah right! You are awesome!

Now quit trying to turn into Hulk Hogan and start running with me again.

From RAD on Sat, May 05, 2012 at 15:09:38 from 98.202.23.178

HA! Hulk Hogan! But...the Hulk can't be pregnant because he is a boy, so I know she's not turning into the Hulk :)

Nice work out there Merri! 4th place overall and 'no training' - yeah, you're cool like that!

From Merri on Sat, May 05, 2012 at 15:23:31 from 160.7.252.148

Thanks every body! I should say no real speed training. :) Rachelle I am scheduling my summer of running so as soon as I decide on my half marathons & a full (maybe) I'll be back on the road again. just can't wait to get on the road again.

From Burt on Sat, May 05, 2012 at 15:59:11 from 72.223.82.180

You got to meet Jake and Andrea??? I once came 15 minute away from meeting them. I used to think they were the same person. I mean, I've seen pictures of them together, but if anyone knows anything about Photoshop, it's me. Andrea's real pretty, and Jake, not so much, but still, don't you find it odd that such a fast couple exists? It's a very rare thing. Anyway, I think I'm a lifetime away from meeting allie and fiddy. I did send allie my address so that she could send me a wedding invite. Nothing yet :(

Also, I have a Mayor McCheese shirt.

From Tara on Sat, May 05, 2012 at 16:00:48 from 75.169.145.109

Great Job today! I think you beat me last summer for the speedy spaniard right? Summer running begins!

From Burt on Sat, May 05, 2012 at 16:03:42 from 72.223.82.180

Summer running begins! Good one Tara Bull.

From allie on Sat, May 05, 2012 at 17:04:52 from 174.23.159.187
