Grandma's 2011 - My 24-minute PR
I blog on a separate blogspot, so I am including the link to my report there. I would copy and paste, but I have embedded pictures, and my splits, etc. so I think this is just easier. I hope you'll check it out!
Thanks to everyone around these parts for your support! I felt a lot of love and encouragement on Saturday!

What a great report, Sara Jane. I think you're going to be floating on air for at least a couple of weeks after that race. Woot!

Re: Grandma's 2011 - My 24-minute PR
Great game plan, negative splits, excellent coaching and a massive PR. Not sure you could ask for more.
While a whole training cycle leading into NYC and all that confidence, it seems like another big PR is on the horizon.
Again, great job to both of you.

Since I have no idea where I posted to congratulate you, SJ - I'm posting again here. Way to run, girl!!
Re: Grandma's 2011 - My 24-minute PR
Nice job Sara Jane!!! That's an incredible performance and a springboard to bigger things ahead. It was nice to finally meet you. Hopefully it won't take another four years to see you again. Keep up the great work!
I wonder if the guy who said Wendy had no business coaching anyone likes the taste of crow.

The bad news is that I doubt you'll ever have a PR that large again. The good news is that you run a freakin' 24 minute PR.
Re: Grandma's 2011 - My 24-minute PR
Great job, Sara!
Only 7 minutes slower than Jerry's first. 7 more years, you can be sub 3.

Thanks for having us over to your house and sharing your friends and family - and yes, your course report really helped in those last 6.2 miles.
Again, Congrats on a crushing PR, I too can't believe how good you looked in the closing miles!!
Re: Grandma's 2011 - My 24-minute PR
Thank you, everyone, for all of the kind and encouraging responses! I am still on a high. I am so proud of what I accomplished and feel so lucky to have Wendy by my side as I continue. She has not only become my coach...but also an amazingly awesome friend. I feel so lucky.
Dave-O: That's actually exactly what I intend to do, actually. No bad news for this girl.
Matt: Unfortunately that "guy" who posted that was a gal, we know who she is, and I think she is such a miserable and hateful and unhappy person that "eating crow" would never even register. Doesn't matter.
Pete, Glenn, Matt: Thank you for coming to my beautiful town! And my (mom's) house! Sorry the weather was a bit crazy - but hey, we gave you a great tailwind...and I hope the spread at dinner was sufficient. I know all of my friends and family really enjoyed meeting all of you. We all had a blast.
V/I/365 Team: Thanks for your support. Sincerely. It has such a big part of my running since 2006 or so...and I am forever grateful. So many of you have been a big part of my desire to be better, and stronger, and faster. To hear that my race was an inspiration just floors me. I love it. And yes, I was THAT happy at mile 24.
Now? NYC. Stay tuned.
