New Years Resolution Run

Z, KB and I closed out the first year of STR with a strong showing at the Flint Resolution Run. With warm temperatures on a nice sunny day, Z cranked out the 8kms in less than 43 minutes! This is a really good time, congratulations Z! Especially considering the nearly 5 mile route contained a substantial hill at the start and finish. After some initial indications that I was able to earn my first place on the podium, I finished 4th in my age group with a 7:46 min/mile. Once again, KB brought home the hardware! She finished 2nd in her age group with a time of 38:38.

Congratulations to all STR members who have pushed themselves to become healthier and enjoy a more active lifestyle. May your resolutions be big and your resolve deep!

HAPPY NEW YEAR STR!

Thanks Dominator,it was a great day. I really think Z's effort was impressive and should not be overlooked. To run that pace on icy streets after the holidays is great. As for KB's and my finishing times, they are the result of the speedwork and the 1,060 miles we ran last year. Yes, that is right, over 1,000 miles...how about that!?

I did not mean to leave Z out of it. Z has come a long way this year. He went from not running more then a mile to becoming a runner. I think that is more impressive then 16 laps on chips. And that is saying a lot from a guy who has trouble getting off the ground.
