Marci and her daughter T, took on a 5 in the snow! What is your excuse for not running one of these yet?
Marci said, " My official time for the Frozen Blueberry was 49:11:06!!!! I took almost 4 minutes off my time IN THE SNOW and broke the 50 minute barrier! Yeehaw!!"
We as a group on Facebook waited to hear how she did and were so proud that she beat her 50 minute goal she had set for herself.
I asked Marci what her favorite part of the race was and what her plans are for future 5k races and she shared, “My favorite part of this race was seeing my daughter ahead of me and being able to keep my eye on her for most of the race. I also enjoyed watching her stop along the way to make snowballs - KIDS!!”
When I asked her what she did this time that was different than last time to get a better time she stated, “ This time - I didn't stop for NOTHING! Earbuds falling out - hat too hot - scarf too tight - vest to fluffy ;-) - I just kept going and did not lolly-gag. “
Marci is an inspiration for all of us that are still sitting on the couch, watching the news and saying to ourselves that we will get out there when it gets warmer, Marci said her next race is going to be the Freeze your Fanny 5k in Bay City. Her goal is is less than 49:11, but I know with some of the group pushing and virtually cheering for her and helping her set goals, she’s going to get it in 45 minutes!
Also, her daughter got FIRST PLACE in her age group. Way to go T!!!!!
