Just in case there was any confusion. No, I'm a big, big, slow, slow, white girl. I tried to go out and run a little faster. I thought there might be pain, but you know, proportional pain. Go a little faster, have a little more pain. This was more like the kinetics of Dilantin. Not Linear. Not Proportional. Hard to take. I kind of felt like I don't deserve Garmie. I considered packing him up and just sending him to someone more deserving. I guess there's always the next run, right? Now, where's my club?
1 - 11:10
2 - 12:00
3 - 12:20
.2 - 11:34
3.2 miles ~ 37:45 ~ 11:48 pace
I'm planning to do a long run tomorrow (with Amy and Art) and a quick girls night (with Amy) and then it's off to Boca Raton. I'm not sure if I'll be on while we are gone, but I am planning to run with Wendy while I'm there. I can't wait. Hope to have stuff to share when I get back.
I'll be thinking about all the Boston Homies. You guys have a great time and drink up the experience. (Bill, Nitmos, Reid, my speedy friend from Iowa - Jennifer) Good luck to everybody racing this weekend no matter where you are. It's not about the finish. It's about that you're out there and you had the courage to start. Y

Have a great vacation Kenyan Nancy.
Nah, you deserve Garmie, and ain't none of us Kenyans :-)
Kenyan Cave Girl. I like that.
Have a brilliant time - safe travels!
Kenyan or not - you're still an inspiration to me. :)
Have fun in Florida. I'll tell my family down there to keep an eye for a pack of club-swinging Kenyans.
Well you are getting faster and I think that's all that matters..ok fine really all that matters is loving what you're doing.
Hey, White Girls Can Run,
or was that White Boys Can't Jump??? Either way, HAVE A GREAT TIME, you deserve it you speed demon!
Have fun clubbing with the girls...
WHOOT!!! Have fun with Wendy! You're sooo lucky! But little does she know that she will be dragging me across the NYC marathon finish line one of these days :P
As long as it isn't an exponential increase in pain.
Have fun on your trip.
I love the Dilantin joke. So appropriate too. So erratic and yet so ecstatic at the same time. Thanks for directing me to the good stuff, Ms. fellow Kenyan. (Remember, in our minds, we are ALL Kenyans!) So you were that Garmie proud, you hear, and have a great time!
Whatcha talking about? You do deserve a Garmie! FO SHO!
You deserve it! Enjoy your long run.
don't forget your Garmie this weekend, mine isn't always reliable... (though that might be the owner's fault)
I think it was a nice run!
I, too, am a slow white girl!
In my mind, you are a Kenyan to me. Have a GREAT trip to Florida!
We can sense your scientific self with the beginning of this post lol
Have fun in Boca Raton!!
Haha,
"No, I'm a big, big, slow, slow, white girl."
Hey Nancy, me too! I was told i dance like a white girl, now i can add "i run like a white girl too"
Your great, love your posts! Have a great vacation!
Michelle
You deserve your Garmie,you earned the right to wear it, just like the rest of us.
Enjoy your trip!!!
I'm a slow white girl too. I look at the speeds the young 'uns put up and bemone my 11:30s. But, we can't let it get us down. Because if we weren't running, what would we be doing? Getting fat and out of shape. Even though we're slow, we're still runners. And it's going to keep us young and fit and healthy, even if we are among the last to cross the finish line.
Wendy is lucky to be running with YOU. I can't imagine anyone who would be as enjoyable to run with as you would be. Have a super great time. Bring back pics!
No Kenyan has ever inspired me and a bunch of other bloggers all over the country to run 8 and 9 miles! ;)
Have a great vacation!
I'm a slower cuban girlticking out tongue) LOL! You still rock my world, Nanc!!
Enjoy the run with the lounge peeps, and really enjoy the GNO!
Have a safe, fun trip! Best of luck with that 10 miler, it's in the bag for ya.
Yeah, where is that club? No one is judging you on your speed. We're just judging you on your blog and how witty it can be! :D
Have fun on your trip!
Looks like you did your 3.2 miles at a good pace, Nancy.
Hey, I can claim to be 1/3 Kenyan since I've lived 1/3 of my life in Kenya. I've even run a whole lot of miles in Kenya. But, when it comes to speed, I'm NOT a Kenyan by any stretch of the imagination!
Just keep at it consistantly and remember at times to push yourself beyond your comfort zone and youll continue to get better. Enjoy Boca. Its nice down there. I grew up in that area
Where's your club? I'm smacking you with it, woman! It doesn't matter how fast you run, just that you do it.
Oh, you MUST see this...I bought my friend this shirt for christmas... hope the link goes through...if not, go to cafepress.com and search for kenyan

Garmie's not just for fast folks.
ENJOY the long run. Soak it in. Bask in it. There's something to be said for being able to get out there and cover the distance.
Another big, big, slow white girl here!!!!!!
If I deserve my Garmin, you deserve yours, for sure!!!
Have a great vacay. I'll miss you!
there is always a better run right around the corner!!!! a sunny florida run might be just the ticket.
Kenyan is relative. Looks like great splits to me Nanc ;)
Enjoy some R&R :)
man you make me laugh.
the title alone.
MizFit
From one slow white girl to another - you are awesome!
Have fun! Get some sun!
I love the Dilantin remark--your gums and your numbers look good, though. Stick with it!
Cranky
hope you are having a great time
eh who is except the kenyans? hope you had a great vacation!
i use special ordered, imported kenyan shampoo just in case it helps.
LOL well I am no Kenyan either :-)
Have fun in Boca the weather in FL is so awesome this time of the year, Enjoy!!
Just getting caught up Nancy on the blog posts I've missed. Way to go on your long runs!!! You're awesome. Have a great vacation!! I'm a slow, white girl too (and I'm bigggggg)...
Hope you are having fun in our sunshiney little state! :) Wish you were on my coast - we'd kidnap ya for a run! :)
You are probably back by now so just pretend like I posted this a week ago. I am so behind on reading blogs (including my own!!!!)
Woman. You are awesome. Get over it. You deserve Garmie more than anyone!
Have a great trip :)
Hey Nancy, I assume you're home now, so even though you have no new post, thought I'd say "Welcome back!"
Thanks for your comment on my blog -- you always have wonderful things to say!
