18 down...6 to go!

I completed my 18th race of the year this past Saturday. Every year my goal is 24, so only 6 more to go!

It was the South Daytona 5K. My time was much better than 2 weeks ago...ended up running 21:57- back on track. I think concentrating on some speed work did it. I was 3rd in my age group. The weather that morning was much cooler than it had been, only in the 70's, so it was perfect running weather! My next race will be Oct. 11th, so until then....

HAPPY RUNNING!

Another 5K...

I have been meaning to post about my last race for a little while, just have not gotten around to it until now...

I ran another 5K on Sept. 14th. Boy, do I need to do some speed work! I have been putting in the miles, trying to get ready for a half marathon, and have been neglecting any type of speed work. Let me tell you...speed work is now on my calendar after the time I clocked! I ran a 22:21, I felt fine, I just did not have the turn-over in my legs. I ended up 3rd in my age group. Oh well, maybe this saturday will be better for me, another 5K.

I am getting ready for a half marathon- it's been so long since the last one I ran back in the fall of 1995 when I was a Junior in High School- my body does not recover as quickly at 30 as it did back then! The one I am running is not until January 4th- so I still have plenty of time.

Happy Running!

Cool Tie Dye Tops...

I know some of us are Stay at Home moms who are always looking for ways to bring in a little extra money...well, this is my way...

I make and sell Tie Dye tops on Ebay and Etsy for children and adults. I have done this for about a year and a half now and I LOVE it...especially around the holidays. I have made some pretty cool cotton tanks to run in, baby Onesies and am currently working on Halloween and Christmas tops.

If you are interested in seeing more examples or purchasing something please just take a look at my Ebay and Etsy pages and message me. brennaginther@hotmail.com

Catching Up...

Okay, so it has been a little while since I was on here last. Where to begin...

Since my last Blog I have run 2 more races. The 2008-2009 racing season has officially begun. I ran the "Save the Loop 5K" where I ended up 3rd female overall with a time of 22:14, and I ran the "I Run for Pizza 5K" where I was 1st in my age group and had a time of 22:01...

I really have not run like I wanted to this summer. I feel like I totally slacked off...could also be that I have run 16 races since January 1st and am feeling a bit drained. I have 10 more races on my schedule before the end of the year, 2 of which are 1/2 Marathons. I know I am a bit crazy...but I guess that's what being addicted to racing gets you! LOL!

HAPPY RUNNING!
