Training Run with Bill and JoAnn
I needed this 10 Mile Run
Sunday, April 8th, 2012
I am glad that the Run For the Good 5k was on a Saturday because I was able to get in a good training run Sunday. Bill Dunn, Dr JoAnn and me met Easter Sunday morning for a run on the San Francisco Bay Trail in Sunnyvale, Calif. I have lived here since 1970 and I had never ran this section of the trail. I ran 10 miles and Bill did 11. JoAnn ran 7 miles. She is recovering from a bicycle accident. It was such a great way to get the day going. I really need a lot of support for be to complete my Challenge. It is so nice to have Bill and JoAnn there offering a lot of advice. I need this 10 mile training run today. Bill has been running here for 30 years. I can see why. We saw a lot of birds along the way... The course winds thru the baylands... Bill and I are the same age. We have battled it out many times. He has posted over 600 races (the most of anyone) on Ujena Fit Club. We are both runing the Zippy 5k in two weeks. We both want to get under 20 minutes. It is going to be a good race. Thanks Bill and JoAnn for doing this training run with me. I needed it!!!

Almost broke 20 minutes
My ankle did not bother me at all

I ran 20:02 today. I wanted to get under 20 and this is pretty darn close. Afterwards, I was able to say a few things to the crowd. What a great race. Fast course and tons of nice people. The weather was perfect and the course was flat and fast. I ran even splits. My ankle issue seems to have vanished at least for now. Thanks so much to Dr. Hunt, the megnesium and the heat I was putting on it. Tim and his wife and crew put on a good race in Fairfield, Calif called Run For The Good 5k. I told Verity earlier that I wanted to get under 20. After she finished in under 19 she cheered me on at the finish. 45-year-old Verity at the two mile mark. She was about a minute ahead of me here. It was thumbs up at the two mile mark. I was hanging on to the two guys ahead of me. Thanks Verity for being there at the finish, that means a lot to me. And congrats on your third place female finish overall. You are on a roll... Talked with a lot of nice people today. Peter ran both the 5k and the 10k. Photos by Catherine Cross Comments and Feedback
