Despite the fact that you were resting and getting out of shape after your marathon while I designed a very specific training regiment (specifically to beat you), I’ll take the win. The clock is ticking fast on big brother’s claim that he can out run his little sister. <br /><br />I remember the first weekend of my Beat Teal training. It was about 2 months ago, you ran a half marathon and I ran a 5k, your pace for 13.1 was quicker than mine for 3.1, I told the guy I run with I was in a lot of trouble. I got myself in slightly better shape but I had come to terms with the knowledge that my youngest sister would lay claim to the title of Family’s Fastest. But then I read a recent Science Friday post and realized the mind, not the body controls the outcome. There was hope. Oh yeah, and then like an idiot, I thought you passed me and I spent half the race trying to run down some other woman with a pink top, but let’s go with the mind thing. <br /><br />It’s a lot more fun being the Team Teal pacer than being the solo member of Team Beat Teal. Maybe we can resume the brother-sister competition next year or maybe, if I can pace you through 25 miles this fall I’ll come from behind with a quarter mile left to go and we can pick up where we left off…blkcnnr1https://www.blogger.com/profile/00597636370123141015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643275154489673929.post-3441971234640053522012-05-08T07:40:51.899-04:002012-05-08T07:40:51.899-04:00Great race, great stories!

As a certified TeamTeal fanatic, I gotta give a HUGE shout out to the fearless fiance, who gets my personal award for Family Runner Who Had the Most Fun. He was all smiles at Mile 9, and there were very few people smiling at that point, especially when I shouted: "C'mon, just one more mile, 4 minutes to go!!!"GotMyTShirtnoreply@blogger.com
