Human Race Recap

Hello TU Runners,

We started the 2009 racing circuit with a bang! Congratulations to all of you!  I love the emails that have been shared so far!  I have to say, I was so touched to see the sea of pink at the starting line!  We looked so awesome!  I was very much honored to be there with all of you.  To me, being at the start line was the most awesome moment of the day.  However, there were many awesome moments!  Please feel free to share a moment that you had as well.

A special congrats to Kari, the recipient of the Golden Shoe Award!  Kari absolutely tore up the roads!   Way to show that you can still run FAST past 40!  Way to go! 

I want to recognize Amy for her PR blazing run!  Amy-you rock!   Way to run out there!  I'm very happy for you!  I think this year is going to be a year of PR's for you.

Carly-I was so impressed with your run knowing that you were on the tail end of a cold that strapped you all week from running. It's almost impossible to come back and race hard afterwards. You toughed it out and nailed a solid run!  Now get better since Boston is on the horizon. Congratulations!!!

I'm very happy and honored to see we have grand masters team!  So hats off to Carolyn, Corrine and Lori!  You three inspire me!  I really admire how fit you all are!    

Carolyn-Fantastic run, especially after running 18 miles on Thursday.  How did you do that?  Congratulations!

Corrine-You are so fit and ran one heck of a race.  I congratulate you on placing 2^nd in your division!  Yahoo!

Lori-You ran a fabulous race!  I'm so glad you are part of this team!  Congratulations on a great race!

Helen-I'm so happy you are part of this team!  You always make me laugh and I had a blast walking to the start line with you!  You ran an excellent race.  Congratulations!

Meg-I hope you all have had a chance to watch Meg run at some point in time.  Meg-You are a very efficient and pretty runner.  Can I get some lessons?  Fabulous race!  

Ann-You are always so encouraging and I want to say that you ran an awesome race considering you did not feel the best.  Sometimes it's the runs that do not go that great that say more about your mental toughness!   Way to tough it out!   BTW-Ann also ran 18 miles on Thursday! 

It was awesome to see you finish Heather!  You had a big smile on your face and that just made my day!  Way to run and special thanks from me for cheering me on during the race.  You really gave me that extra boost to make it to the finish line.  Congratulations on running a fabulous race!

Janelle-One of our distance specialists, I know you do not prefer to run these short races, (she prefers to run a 50k instead!) but I think you proved you can run them!  Way to go!!!

I also want to thank Pam and Donna for all your cheers along the way!  I think I can speak for all that we really appreciated it very much!  Thank you!

See you soon.
