Runners are always trying for a new "PR". This stands for personal record. It doesn't matter if it is just the fastest quarter mile interval, or a complete marathon - runners celebrate their PRs.
Today Denise ran 10 miles in a new PR time. During the run she also broke her 5-mile and 9-mile PRs as well. Way to go!!
I also had a good run today going 14 miles. I set PRs for 11, 12, 13 and 14 miles and what would have been a PR at the 1/2 marathon distance of 13.1 miles but since it wasn't an official course will leave that one for another day.
Denise didn't have any blisters, knee or back problems on the run today and felt the best she has in a long time. I felt really strong the entire run with the last three miles being my fastest three of the run with an 8:05 on mile 14. 5 weeks to the Lacamas Lake 1/2 marathon - let us know if you would like to run it with us.
