John Dick Memorial FiftyK


On Saturday, February 6th, 2010, I ran my first 50K- the John Dick Memorial Run in the Kettle Morraine State Forest. It was 5 loops on a hilly trail route in the snow. Mountain Dew and M&Ms at the aid
station?!? That's MY kinda race! Took me 7 hours but I did the whole beautiful 31 miles like a champ. I LOVED it!!!

Indoor Team Marathon Relay

On January 23rd, I did the InStep Indoor Team Marathon at the Petit Ice Arena in Milwaukee w/ some friends.  Amy, Meghan, & Abrey are all on the Ten in Six blog, & Emily is Amy's co-worker.  We had 2 teams: Team Ten in Six Divas was me (19.65 miles) & Amy (6.55 miles).  Team Shrinking Hot Divas was Emily (6.55 miles), Meghan (6.55 miles), & Abrey (13.1 miles). 

It was EXTREMELY mentally tough going in circles all the time, 96 times to be exact, with no cool scenery to look at, etc.  Most of the other teams were sprinters, too, not distance folks like us.  So.....I did the last 11 laps all out on the track by my lonesome, but it's ok.  The girls were great and the support was phenomenal.  Just don't think I'll do it net next year :)
