Cherry Blossom Recap: Personal Records!!

by Eman

Runners covet personal records…their best time for a distance or special race. The hope of running a new PR is one of the key motivators for runners.

This weekend every Team Little Guy racer set some type of PR at the Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10 miler. Visit http://www.cherryblossom.org/results/2008/men.htm for the official results.

Agnoli : 1:53:08

Ed raced with an injured knee. This was his first 10 mile race so it is his PR but he will shatter this time when he is healthy.

Slacker: 1:41:14

This was John’s first 10 mile race and he is a newer runner. Awesome race!

The Major: 1:20:51

Set a new PR with very limited training. He could go sub 1:10 easy!

BadRad: 1:20:39

BadRad kicked butt! He trained hard and went for it! 1:19:59 next time!

Eman: 1:00:04

Beat Bubba’s 61:03…59:59 next time!

Bubba: 1:25:01

There are many categories of PR’s… Bubba set a new PR for 10 miles now that he is 60 years old.

Now that I have run Cherry Blossom and was fortunate enough to beat dad’s 61:03. I have a much higher level of respect for just how fast Bubba was in his prime! It was awesome to chase that PR at Cherry Blossom with Dad on the course with me.

All the pain and hard work was rewarded when I crossed the finish line…but the highlight of weekend was the “Job Well Done” hug from a proud Bubba at the finish.

Great running guys! Let’s chase some more PR’s!!

Run Little Guy Run!

Eman –

Thanks for the recap – these are outstanding times for all the guys – nice work!

You did overlook one other weekend personal record … Big Daddy bagged five plates of BBQ at Carter Brothers in a little under 45 minutes – now that’s a man on a mission!

@Ginny – thanks for stopping by and saying hi. The guys are really fired up abuout running – and credit unions.

@PalmettoDude – hey, we should do a rock-a-thon! We’ll have to make sure we have lots of sweet tea to drink, and some energy bars. That rockin’ is hard work.
