I have 4 kids, 2 boys and 2 girls. 11, 9, 6 and 2. I have been married to my guy for 13 years. He is great and so supportive of my running life. He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!! I am working on being able to keep up with him. Someday when are kids are older we look forward to training together.

Ran to the beach and did 3 800's

800's... 3:25, 3:24, 3:26 the last one about killed me.

I was pleased with the times especially considering they were not done on a track.

Good run Britta! You should be very pleased with those splits. On the beach and still pulling sub 7 pace. Wow.

That's good speed! Way to go Britta.

After reading this three time I finally read it right. I kept reading "I was NOT pleased..." Funny how our minds play tricks on us.

We should know something about the house this week. They haven't come back out to do the reinspection because it's the beginning of the month, and they're busy with other stuff. Thanks for asking.

I wish I could run to the beach! Nice splits.

Thanks Merri! It is pretty great to run on the beach whenever I want.

Awesome times!!!

WOW!!! How did you do that on the beach??? You were cruising!!!

VERY COOL!!!!

Let me clarify for those who think I ran my 800's on the ACTUAL sand.... There is a paved trail along the entire beach that everyone walks, runs, rides bike etc. That is where I ran my 800's. Wouldn't it be cool if I could run that fast on the Sand?!

We all know how fast you are, don't try and pull the wool over our eyes with some silly story to make it seem like your not that fast! Speedy Britta! :-)

From Burt on Fri, Aug 07, 2009 at 12:20:03 from 68.76.197.194

Amen to that Jon.
