Congrats on your PR! Awesome run you both had! Can't believe what you went through with the car though!
WHOA, awesome PR Marlene!! Awesome AG finish too...cant wait for the report!!
What a ROCKSTAR!! Way to get it done!! Maybe losing the keys helped out somehow - extra adrenaline rush. Think you want to repeat the experiment next time?!?!? LOL
Congrats to both of you! It was a quick course.
Awesome job!! I think losing the keys got your adrenialin going..who needs a warm up!
Awesome PR! Sounds like it was a crazy day.
Great job Marlene. You are definately on a roll, and so is your hubby, congrats to you both!
Moe and I ran it today as well as a training run for next weekend. My Garmin had 10.74Km at the end, was yours off? We had to start in purple since we were last minute, so there was tons of weaving, but still seems high to me.
Anyway congrats again on an amazing race!!!
Holy cow! 47 minutes is insanely fast. Congrats, Marlene!

FANTASTIC JOB CHICA!! You totally smoked that thing!! ;D ;D
Whoa! What a day. Great race, and given all of my calculations that PR of yours is actually for a 10.3K, so even better! Your husband is fast. He likely blew by my somewhere in the 5-7k lull where I was near planning my disgraceful exit... Congratulations!
Great race! And to be able to do in amidst all that key drama...congratulations to both you and the hubby!
Wow, you're both so fast!!
Congrats on a new PR!

Whoooooaaa... you got it under 48 minutes in 10K. That is absolutely FANTASTIC. I would have done it miserable if I have to think about the car keys in a taxicab. Congrats!!! I am elated that everything worked out.
