Brian Kraft 5K
I wasn't memorializing, and I surely wasn't running. In fact, many of the MR Road Runners took a hiatus from racing and/or were out of town for this fast 5K.
But one lone Road Runner, Kate (Eva) Taylor, made it to the start line, then the finish line, placing 26th overall for women, in 19:28 (6:16). Nice!

New Prague Half-Marathon FULL RESULTS
Saturday, May 12, 2007
And it went like this . . .
Overall/Female
139/20 Jessica Deutsch (1:31:47, 7:00 pace)
182/25 Elizabeth Flanagan (1:34:56, 7:15 pace)
225/32 Eva Taylor (1:37:38, 7:27 pace)
539/148 Sarah Margoles (1:55:04, 8:47 pace)
Good job, Mississippi River Road Runners! While USATF uses our actual times for results, I am posting chip times here. I started too far back from the starting line, wove my way through the crowd the first mile, and settled in by mile two with the typical 45-year old man who runs with me for the about 2/3 of the race. One annoying young fellow insisted on sprinting about five feet in front of us every time we were about to pass him. On a hill, we dropped him, his blaring iPod, and gratuitious mailbox bashing. Around mile nine, I left my running friend. At mile twelve, I stopped, walked, accepted a LifeSaver that one of the spectators was handing out, and did what I could that last stretch.
A 2-minute personal best for me. In Brooklyn, with the company of the enthusiastic Hector (also a 40-something) and three glasses of Sangria the night before, I ran 1:34:19 on a mostly flat course. No complaints here. I'm taking it easy for awhile now, since I do not have to do that silly half-marathon in Duluth.
Next race: Brian Kraft 5K on Memorial Day.

I like running. But yesterday was one of those races . . . that I will forget in order to maintain the statement, "I like running." My sense is that it was hard for most, given the warm temperatures and blinding sun.
I started out at 6:45 pace for the first two miles, and then had a 7 minute plus third and fourth mile, followed by 7-ish fifth and six miles.
286. Andrea Grunst (42:15, 6:48)
289. Melissa Grunst (42:16, 6:48)
356. Jessica Deutsch (43:26, 7:00)
362. Kate (Eva) Taylor (43:31, 7:01)
413. Betsy Flanagan (44:16, 7:08)
903. Sarah Margoles (49:28, 7:58)
Next race is New Prague Half Marathon on May 12th.
