Awesome Race!

That was definately an interesting experience!  I was very proud of myself for finishing 12.2 miles in under an hour... 59:23.  My average was a tad over a 4.5 minute mile, which for me was great!  Next question... do I try the Cleveland race, or wait till next year for my next race?!  This is so addicting!  I would love to put on a race to raise money for JDRF.org!

It was so nice to finally meet some of the members from the ColumbusInline group!  Hopefully I can get out to more of the weekend events.  Since Laura made the mistake of telling me that she's been trying to skate, I may be up around Marysville/Dublin more often getting her out!

First Race!!!

I'm registered and ready for my first race - Mount Carmel in Columbus is holding a Half Marathon Skate on August 15!  After I broke my leg last Feb/March, I decided my overall goal was to complete a Marathon, but quickly realized after going to Miami in February that I wasn't ready for 26 miles!  This half marathon is perfect since I'm already skate 10 miles at a time.  With my current pace (minus the few minute break I take after the first 5), I'm hoping to finish in less than 1 hour 15-20 minutes.  I'm so excited about giving this a try!
