National Half Marathon, March 29, 2008, unofficial results: 2:32:01 (11:41 min/mile) (Yeah, I took the "teensy" out of the headline. It's a honkin' big PR!)
Fredericksburg Blue and Gray Half-Marathon, Dec. 9, 2007, 02:34:26 (11:47 min/mile) 8/9
Philadelphia Distance Run, September 16, 2007: 2:38:06 (12:04 min/mile)
Montgomery County Half Marathon, September 24, 2006: 2:38:15 (12:05 min/mile)
Oy, it was hilly. I felt good throughout, until mile 12 when my PF flared up. I looked for mile 13, saw the finish in the distance and figured the race organizers did some mind-fudging and were making people run around the D.C. Armory before hitting the finish line. But, I was wrong! The last 1.1 mile flew by.
It was great and I felt great and strong even on all the hills.
The best part? NO WALKING!!!
The worst part? I ate my weight in food giveaways at the end. Oy, must go lay down now. More to come.

Congratulations, Jeanne! Way to go!
Congrats! What a way to start a weekend.
Way to go mom! It was a GREAT PR!!!
Awesome! And we all know that the food you eat after finishing a race doesn't count.
Those are food EARNINGS. You can eat anything you want for as many hours as there were miles in the race. That's a firm rule.
GREAT to see you and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! Well run!!!
Jeanne!
You looked great at the finish line! Ellen and I were so excited to see you. Congratulations!!!!!

Way to go, Jeanne! Hey -- you deserve to indulge after a feat like that!
Excellent work, my friend. I can't wait to hear more.
Congrats on the PR! Eating your way through the afters is the reward for running the race :-)
Gurrrrrrrl! That's what I'm talking about!! Awesome! Now I have a goal for my Half on Sunday. Did you feel you had trained well for this? I did a Half in Feb and then pretty much took March off. What do you think of that training techinque? I figure I'm saving my knees if nothing else.
Congratulations. What a beautiful day for a race.. and what a great race you ran.
Yay! Yay! Yay! CONGRATULATIONS!!
