Rebecca at the Twin Cities Marathon
Just wanted to share that running with you, and especially the the track workouts/hill work really helped me prepare for Twin Cities Marathon. But one thing I did lack, was working on tempo runs. I had a great first half, but I started getting knee pain about mile 16/17. I had to walk most of the last miles. I started off too fast, and felt great, not realizing I was going to pay for it later. So lessons learned. Other than that, Twin Cities is very beautiful course to run on. Weather was great (high of 75 at the end), but you do get a lot of shade and cool breezes. There is steady incline after mile 19 to the finish. Everything is well organized, and bus transportation was provided to start line from St. Paul. Free breakfast too on race morning if you stay at Embassy Suites in St. Paul.Here are a couple of pictures to share. I would definitely recommend this race. Maybe not a PR race, but definitely is one of the most beautiful urban runs. Congratulations Rebecca!!!

Enrique at the San Dimas 5K
The San Dimas 5K this morning was a blast and I came in second in my age group. My run time was 20:50 and a little bit better than last year's 21:10. Small improvement but every little bit helps... Tyler also took home some hardware but can't remember if it was 1st or 2nd in his age group. Sammy was also there and also took home a medal in his age group. It was funny because he was running 50 yards in front of me but I could not catch him, even in the downhill home stretch.
Sarah 23:15
Wolf 20:31
Wendy's Report on the Chimera 100K
I don't know if anyone remembers but last year in December I did a race called Chimera 100k and it rained so hard that the race was canceled in the middle. I was doing really good, and was so sad we all had to stop. I got 37 miles that day in rain and hail! It was crazy! Well I came back this year! The race was moved to Sept to avoid the rain thing. I was happy to be back to finish my race:) The course was changed some and I planned to run hard this time. I ran HARD, it was great for the first 36 miles!!!! Then I went up Silverado trail at 2pm in the heat and got cramps and dehydrated, at the aid station I was told to sit down and drink, I had to stay awhile. I finally begged them to leave as I was a girl comming up the trail and at the time was in 2nd place!!! Well somehow I pulled it together and stayed ahead of her!!!!
I came in 2nd woman in 16:24 and 6th person overall. I am so excited! I have been working hard at the track to get faster on the flats and downs!! Thanks to Brian and Andrea for helping guide me:)

Mt. Baldy Race
Congratulations to Marianne for running up Mt. Baldy in 1:33:39. She came in sixth for women and 3rd in her age group.
Conquer the Bridge
Enrique brings home some hardware from this race and came in second in his age group. He ran the 5.33 miles in 37:12 min at a pace of 7:02. It was overcast and cool temps. Never saw the sun. Overall a great race, but the climb up the bridge was tough. Last year he finished in 40:26 at a pace of 8:06, so all of those hill repeats and long runs definitely make a difference!
Vineman Triathalon
Congratulations to Joe and Scott for completing the Vineman.
Waiting to hear from Scott.
Joe's total time was about 10 hours 50 minutes, for 24th place overall, and 4th in AG. That's the good news. The bad news is that his little brother was 21st overall. Joe claims that he is an athletic demi-god who poses as a human being. Someone has to give Joe some competition.
