NHTI/Delta Dental 5k

Remember how I think that NHTI’s Cross Country coach is awesome? Here’s a picture of him giving us pre-race instructions as I raced another race in Concord on NHTI’s campus.

I headed over to NHTI on a beautiful Friday afternoon after work. I had run into Coach Tom at Panera one morning and he had convinced me to come to Concord and run in the little race.
Me at NHTI Race

I knew I could PR despite not having done any speedwork recently. I ran pretty well I think. I was unfortunately unable to catch our local regular Filly winner (and recent Runner’s World feature) despite being only a few strides behind her at the 2 miles mark. Sarah and I did have a great chat afterward about lots of other things.

I still think I can find lots more speed. I just need to get some work in on the track instead of only training long distance.

Edit: For those of you finding your way to my blog looking for Pictures, here’s a link to the race’s professional race photographer’s site: Joe St. Pierre

Some of the Cast

Miriam the Filly Runner
I'm a 28 year old ex-Northeastern-rower who is finding a new love for physical fitness in the form of running. I love running long distances (even aiming for Ultramarathons) on both road and trail. I've toyed with barefoot but mostly go with the minimalistic shoes. I may not be very fast, but I'm enjoying competing against myself. I'm Canadian but love living in New Hampshire with my hubby, and our Poodle and cats. When not running, I'm usually being a nerdy engineering type.

Cooper the Blonde Poodle
Cooper, who's registered name is French Fries and Gravy, is a 1 year old Cream Standard Poodle (he's on the small side of his breed). He thinks that living with two runners is fantastic, as long as he gets to tag along. His longest run to date has been 22 miles off leash, so he probably did significantly more than that. Coop's non-running adventures are often documented in my other blog Life with a Blonde Poodle.
