Bridge Run Recap and Looking Forward to Jacksonville

Kiwi? Have you written anything since your tirade about the Ultra?
No.
Are you planning anything? Like if I write about the bridge run, I'm not gonna mess up your plans to talk about how crazy all my races are?
I can talk about that 8 days a week.


On that note.

The Enmark Savannah River Bridge Run was last weekend. Last year, I ran the 10K in a 1:10:something. This year I posted a 1:05:51.

I should be delighted with that, right? No. It was too easy.

Not that the bridge is easy, but I didn't give it my all and have been annoyed with it since. If you look at the numbers, I did great. If you look at my effort, I failed big time. To some extent, the bridge snuck up on me. I didn't plan/train for it. I had 2 clients run, both of whom beat their goal times. That's a win. :)

So now there's nothing to do but move on.

Saturday I have a client running a fun run and plan to go see that. Then the following Sunday (one week) is the Jacksonville Half Marathon. Which means, well, it kinda snuck up on me too. My current Half PR is a 2:17:10. The run in Athens. I need a 2:17:09 to "beat" that, but on a scale of effort, I need a 2:04:10 to match my previous effort. We'll see...

Did you talk about the online games?
No.
You should talk about the online games.
Okay.

Kiwi is talking about 2 things, the first of which he has already written about. The Runner's World Run Streak goes from Thanksgiving through New Years with the goal of running a mile a day. We're doing that. The second thing is the MapMyRun Stay Fit Fitness Challenge. During the month of December, we log 30 minutes of exercise a day for at least 20 days with the final prize a drawing for a $100 Amazon gift card. ...we're doing that, too.

Did you talk about the site stats?
Nope.
You should talk about the site stats.
Okay.

We've reached 1000+ hits! When I just checked, we were at 1400, which is very exciting! Thank you for reading/tolerating us, and passing this along to your friends.

Just a reminder, you can keep up with us on twitter at @TheKashaShow, or on facebook, where Kasha Jones is a community business/athlete.

That's all for now. Thanks for stopping by!





Hi.
This is Kiwi.
She went away. She's worried about Jacksonville because it snuck up on her, too.
I don't know how a race can sneak. It can't move. But I think that's why she forgot to talk about so many things. 
So wish her luck in Jacksonville. 
She needs her cheering squad right now.
LOVE KIWI
