2. Lindsey and I are having a little "friendly" competition next month. She's challenged me to beat her 5K PR and I've challenged her to beat my 10K PR. Clearly Lindsey is getting nervous since she has taken extreme measures to get out of the competition. Next thing I know, she's going to be tying my legs together again!
For the record, I don't think I stand a chance... but I am going to try like h*ll! There's a big ol' bag of M&M's on the line. [guess who chose the prize]3. Tonight we kick off the summer marathon clinic session! Most of the regulars will be returning, and we should expect some new faces as well. This is my 6th consecutive season with this group (2/year); they must be putting something good in the
Happy Thursday (almost Friday)!

At least from the hospital bed she can't pull a Nancy Kerrigan on you.
Hilarious competition!
Enjoy the clinic kickoff--should be cooler hopefully.
Your competition sounds awesome! I want a bag of m&ms! Good luck! I hope you win!
I'm laughing over the M&M's!
thats cool that you guys are challenging each other. it will keep u in check and you will want to run stronger and faster. good luck!
1km time trial......I am thinking you are Kenyan like so I guess....you could hold at least a 3:15-3:30 pace.
Nice competition! Do they have to be peanut?
ohhh i love the competition that would be great to get me motivated...must now find myself a competitor!
What are you talking about Willis? Your 10k PR is a solid 2 mins better than mine... It's not like I stand a chance either. And don't even start!! You picked a prize too... Gonna have to find my skates so I can Tonya Harding you since I can't Nancy Kerrigan. Or maybe I'll pull a Keri strug and do it one-legged.
Now I need to get to running again...
I could run pretty fast for Peanut M&Ms. I think with that amazing 10k time, you could definitely break that 5k time. Go speedy!
Is it said that I have no idea what a good 1k time for you, me or anyone else would be? I'm all miles, my friend.
But I love the idea! I can't believe you're in your next training cycle already! Crazy!
GO Marlene,GOOOOO!! You know you so NEED those M&Ms!!!
1km time trial? I'm guessing 3:57.
Looking forward to the results of your competition!
i only work in miles so i can't place my time bet! but i'll go with FAST! :-)
GAH 1k time trial?! That's worse than a mile ;)
Ohhh this is a fun challenge you two have going on!
Love the competition!!!!
If only it were pretzel m&m's. Why do I crave those!? Uggg. ;)
What a great motivator! Who's holding the prize in the meantime? That bag might start getting lighter with all your training!
Enjoy your marathon clinic. I love that you have such a great group to train with. No wonderful your always smiling in your photos!
Hmmm....so .6 of a mile in less than 4 min? I have no idea but if you do 400 meters in 1:30, 800 in 3 then you can do 1000 in 3:28.45. How's that for exact? And how about me knowing how far 1k is??? I love Google!
So good luck with your 5k!! You can do it!! Any thing for those m&m's!!
I need a marathon clinic...too bad I can't commute.
I am going to enjoy seeing who wins the M&M's.....
Have fun at the clinic and good luck with your competition! You can do it! You are a speed demon! Oh and for the 1km time trail I am guessing sub 4 minutes! you got it! I am going to be exact and say 3mins 49 seconds. That is such a good idea to do a time trail at the beginning - we used to do that in track.
oooh, my guess is 3:35....I wonder if I'll even be close :) KMs are a strange world to my number-guessing!
Great prize choice, that would be gone SO quickly in our place!
A 1km time trial sounds hellish but I think it might be fun...
And now I need to find someone to challenge. Maybe I'll just choose someone's 5 or 10k PR to try to beat by the time the summer is over.
Love a little friendly competition!

If you win Lindsay may send you an empty bag of M+Ms because they will be all eaten.
I've just tasted the new almond M&Ms (they're new here in Aust.) and I think they're even better than the peanut ones.
I'm sure you'll kick her butt! And I bet that you chose the M&Ms! Good choice!
Good luck....M&Ms are worth it :)
Go get those M&Ms!
Peanut M&M's are my FAVORITE. Win, win, win!
Winks & Smiles,
Wifey
Will run for M & M's! Love it!! :) And that is so cool that you have been running with pretty much the same group of peeps for 2 years.
