Congrats on a strong 5K Saturday and the PR on Sunday!! Our daffodils bloomed the week before last, and then we had a hard freeze and now they are dead. Then this past weekend we had high winds and snow and all of the buds seems to have blown off of the trees. There goes spring.Meaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02484494180842875733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-81646121419268767482016-04-12T06:42:02.836-05:002016-04-12T06:42:02.836-05:00It was a busy weekend!

Going from 45 seconds to 90 seconds is DOUBLING your time! (I'd hope there would be a little bit of effort involved LOL). Fortunately the 5K was on a pretty flat course, and the weather was ideal. But a 3.1 mile "sprint" is just not my thing....give me a half marathon ANYDAY ;-) Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-59074107513009634022016-04-12T06:35:25.890-05:002016-04-12T06:35:25.890-05:00I haven't gotten my bike out of storage yet......I haven't gotten my bike out of storage yet....I'm not an avid cyclist...at least not avid enough to want to conquer the wind while mounted LOLKim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-82823494474999790782016-04-12T06:23:46.850-05:002016-04-12T06:23:46.850-05:00Congrats on the age group win and the PR in the fl...Congrats on the age group win and the PR in the flights!

It is awesome, I can just do 1.5 minutes and start to shake. But I use to shake at 45 seconds so it is progress. <br />Wonderful job on your stair run and I can't wait to hear the recap! Sweet on the AG award in the 5k! I hate doing them too because even though it's only 3.1 miles it is a hard run. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12325341013716918783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-70301263761934431692016-04-11T19:02:49.524-05:002016-04-11T19:02:49.524-05:00Congratulations on your AG win and your awesome PR...Congratulations on your AG win and your awesome PR! <br /><br />We have had some wind here, as well.
