To boost my race esteem I guess I did a virtual 5k the other day (inside 1.9 miles to make it a full 5 mile tempo run) and did it in the same time as my PR for a 5k which doesn't include another 1.9 miles so I felt really good about that! Nice wristband! I use to wear one at the gym to wipe the sweat but I can't find it. Thanks for reminding me to look for it!! I hope I win the giveaway!!!!Malloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18008997988040866733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280571059554402649.post-20235422007467198642011-03-08T08:11:17.736-06:002011-03-08T08:11:17.736-06:00Way to rock that wristband!

I suck at the bike and when i get to the run i just take off. Sometimes people yell at me to slow down because they think i'm going out too fast, nope, i'm just THAT bad on the bike that i am so far back so it looks like i'm inexperienced! lolBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15433494694306820451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280571059554402649.post-39182847628897206742011-03-07T23:42:00.548-06:002011-03-07T23:42:00.548-06:00I gotta do one of these again.
