It was a beautiful day on Sunday Morning. We had six STR members in the Martian 1/2 marathon. It was a day full of PR's and first for STR. Coach Lisa, who ran in place of me, was the first tire to cross the finish line at 1:34:15, which was good enough for a second place age group finish. Tony Boondogglato, in his first race with the STR jersey and first ever 1/2 marathon ran a solid 1:54:00. Snap, also in his first 1/2 marathon was the next tire to come a cross the line with an impressive 2:02:01. Kelley Callard, a new STR member, was the second fastest STR girl of the day with a 2:04:05. Vinnie, in his first ever 1/2 marathon and longest race of his life keep a steady pace and crossed the line smiling at 2:08:05. Todd Z made a race day decision to attempt his first ever 1/2 marathon and made it over the line in 2:14:47, not bad for a kid who could not even keep a cracker down the day before. A special thanks for Ann, Michelle (and kids), and Papa Snap who came and cheered on their fellow members. I would also like to put out a big congratulations to Brian "Big Fella" from Maryland who ran the Cherry Blossom 10 miler on Sunday. Brain was able to maintain his sub 10 min/mile pace to turn in a 1:39. Nice job, keep us updated on your race season on the East Coast.

You guys look great! Congratulations to all on going the distance, 13.1 is no joke!
Nice job STR runners! Half Marathons are a lot of fun. It sounds like everyone did great. Keep up the good work.
Big Fella - great job on that 10 miler! Keep working hard and running STRong.
I'm not sure if I was smiling, grimacing, or just relieved to stop running. That was a great way to jumpstart my training and get me motivated for the RBR in May. Sounds like STR will be well represented in GR, 25K here I come!
