Awesome run! To think you once disliked morning running, and now you're up WAY before the sun ;) Are the MWMLRs winding down (distance)?

mwemlerrrrr. I would like to know two things: 1) what kind of kid is skateboarding at 4:30am? and 2) what place dis the fox come in? I hope you beat it...

Can you start calling me in the morning to get my lard butt out of bed? Lol. 4:29start time, I can't even remember the days where I was capable of doing that!

I love your race bib!!

You are an awesome morning runner. I still wish we lived closer together. You could drag me through long runs. I am sooo used to splitting mileage...ekkk for when I need to actually run it all together!

Great job!

Shellyrm ~ just a country runner said...

Are your miles for the Virtual race and MWMLR backwards? No it's actually 8.25 miles not 18.25 miles...then did you run another 11.8 miles or is that a total mileage? Wait, look at who I am asking. you probably ran 19+ miles in the predawn hours while I was sleeping or getting s'ghetti ready for school.

Wow.
