Wow what a way to start the day than with a 5K marathon.

I havn't ran this far since I was a young Marine and my bones and muscles are a hurting.

BUT I did manage to finish in 25:54. I'm happy with the time at least considering I am a smoker.

Anyone else run Marathons here?

Way to go. Was it an organized race or just a morning jog?

Yes this was the 7th annual Garry Powers memorial 5k turkey trott.

Garry Powers is a former 1st Sgt. here and this run raises money to buy presents for kids of Military families that may be struggling this holliday season.

AKS\/\/ulfe: because I am tired I will give you a simple explenation

5k = 5 kilometers.....roughtly equal to 3.2 miles

Congrats.

Btw, a marathon refers to a specific race of 26.2 miles.

3 1/2 miles is a marathon? Were you feeling faint? Did you want to puke? Jeezus H. Christ!

HORRIBLE TIME? I'm a smoker for god's sake! Plus the second mile was all up hill! That's what killed my pace and kicked my ass.

I kicked it into gear though when Korn "chutes and ladders" came on the ole MP3 player.

I usually run a timed 1.5 mile in 10:30....I havnt ran farther than that for a time in a few years.

Anyone else do charity runs often?

OH BGB,

She's biting her tounge for right now. Hopefully the new owners will be taking over next week. If that doesn't happen she's gonna say something.

The Marine Corps Fitness test has a timed 3 mile run. To score a max amount of points you must cross before 18:00. The best I ever did (19 years old) was 18:45. I usually finished around 21:30.

I havet run in over a year, year and a half. I know I could go out there and do 5k in about 30 minutes. When Im out of practice I can still maintain 9-10 minute miles. And I smoke a pack a day.

You guys crack me up. to Gunslinger. At least he's doing it.
How many of you are lazy, fat, I can do better than that(only in your own mind), people who stare at a computer monitor, never to move farther than the bathroom, or kitchen? Who cares what the time was. Doesn't anyone have anything positive to say anymore?
