First in AG, first in fashion, first in the hearts of her boomer fans.
ilene, you make us all want to spend the Fourth of July wrapped in your flag, . . . I mean, the flag.Nice AG award too that can be used instead of just stuck in some drawer.
Hugh negative split = another PR if you could've kept goin' to a half. could you?
So many good races and results in SoCal. Thanks for posting yours.

Don't sell yourself short that you won because it was a small race. The fact is that you ran like a pro, with a faster second half. That is what all that strong base training allowed you to do, that no one else could do in the heat. A very good race for you, and congratulations. Spareribs

ilene, well, i'm glad that in your effort to avoid racing me by running some unknown small-town shin-dig way across town you did an excellent job, especially with those negative splits. next year, watch out... i will find you...

Nice race, PR and RR, Ilene! Super 2nd half too! Looking good is most certainly the 'icing on the cake' ... and also the "syrup on the pancakes"!

Nice job on the AG win. I hope you weren't cherry picking on the fourth  Your race outfit sounds perfect. Great job cranking it up in the last 5k. BTW, I cannot imagine you, after all these races, being nervous while you warm up.

MarkGuy, Oh, she's not nervous for herself. She always wins a prize. Ilene is like the great miler Noureddine Morceli, who said, "When I race my mind is full of doubts--who will finish second, who will finish third?" Dark Horse ------------------

Ilene,
I love your preface and report.
This sounds like a fun race.
You ran well and you are in excellent condition. I am always envious of your :thick luxurious ponytail", as I wear my thin kinky curls on my head.Congratulations on a race well run!

The picture had me up out of my chair and saluting the flag. Another great report. I'm glad you were in such a patriotic fervor, and glad you had such a good time. Tom
