Yes, I know I look scary in this picture, but I did just finish a race in the freezing, cold rain. I ran a 5K (3.1 miles) today, and it was fun. Most people would agree that the words run and fun should not be in the same sentence, but I did enjoy it. I was the 1st place female finisher in my age group 25-35. I finished in 22:96, which is 7:35 mile pace. My next race will be the Columbus half marathon (13.1 miles) on May 1st. Hopefully my training will get my hopes up, because the half marathon is 10 more miles than the race I did today, and that seems so far. Oh well, if anything it will be fun to run and accomplish one of my goals. Oh no, there I go again, fun and run in the same sentence.

I will never run with you! Congrats!
Dang 1st!! You ROCK!! I did one and didnt stop LOL! but I sure as HECK wasn't 1st! I love you Stacey Bea! I wanna be like you someday! till then You INSPIRE me!
Congrats on first place "ghetto bootie" that's great! I'd be happy just to finish.
Wow what a great pace! Half marathons are my favorite distance. And if you ask me run and fun go together (some people do call me crazy though). Good luck on the Columbus half.
Way to go Stacey! I'm amazed at your mile pace. You were cruising!
Way to go! You are awesome! I wish I was there running with you. I do agree that fun and run can go together, if you are not running alone! Good luck with your 1/2 training! Maybe if I get my act together I can run one in June! Do you ever run with Andrea?! She needs a running partner if you are looking for one!
Man, Stacey that is fast. When I am at the top of my game I am only a 9.5 minute mile. How are you so fast?
Oh yeah, I have the shortest legs ever and you don't.
You inspire me :)
Congrats! That is awesome! I definitely believe that fun and run don't belong in the same sentence, so I am very impressed:) I love reading your blog, you're posts always make me chuckle!
STUD! We are running one next week and we definitely will not be first. Way to accomplish your goals!
