New Experience!
I've finally broke out of my running world of 5k, 8k, and 10k's. I'm currently training for the Grand Rapids River Bank 25k (15.5miles). For a good tune up I was informed of a 10 mile race that is on a challenging (hilly) course. My goal for the 25k is a 6 min mile pace (1:33.00), so I wanted to first see if I can hold that pace for the 10 miler. My finishing time for the 10 miler was 1:00.42 (6.04 pace) and finished in 8th place overall. I actually felt comfortable the whole race and in the last two miles I held a 5.30 pace! So I feel confident that I can reach my goal for the 25k. Here is are some photos from the 10 miler.

Cousin, where did you get those genes??? Can't wait to hear how the 25k goes, and congrats on the 10k!
That is hilarious, Amy. I was going to say the exact same thing - where did the running genes come from?! And why didn't I get any of the share? I cannot even imagine running 10 miles. I think it might kill me. I HATE running but wish I loved it. These last few pregnancy pounds are going to have to be shed doing something else...I wonder if blogging burns calories. =)
Hey Jimmy!
I was actually thinking about running the 25k River Bank because I'm heading back to Holland for Hope's graduation, but unfortunately its a week late for me.
Anyway, the beach pictures that allison put up look great - i miss that.
Looks like things are treating you well in Zeeland!
