July 2007 The Wharf to Wharf In Santa Cruz CA.
This was my second time running the Wharf to Wharf 10K run. Thanks be to God. Last year my time was 46.33. This year I beat my time running the Wharf to Wharf in 44.20. My goal is to run it in under 40 minutes. My life time goal is to run a 10 k in 35 minutes. One day I will God willing. July 2007 The Wharf to Wharf Race 15,000 runners! 6 miles 44.20 The Wine & Cheese 5k Run October 2007
Incredible! I beat my time by 58 seconds in a 5K race. In 2005, I did a 5K race; I did it in 22.12. 2 years later, I did it in 21.14 My goal is to do a 5K in under 20 minuets. This was a fun race and loads of people turned out for it. I place 7th in my age group and if I was 9 years younger, I would have place 2nd in my age group! If I was one year older, I would have placed 3rd and if I was a women, I would make for one ugly lady. Giggles Thanks for your support. 21.14 7th Place The Halloween River Run 2007
This was my first time at this race and it was a blast. I guess the happiest part of this run for me was that my buddy came in 2nd in his age group! He recently kick the tobacco habit for running and I'm so proud of him! I too was a smoker for over 20 years and quit smoking in 2005. For me leading by example is what true winners are all about. 2 weeks ago I ran a 5K at the Wine & Cheese in 21.14. Today I ran it in 20.29 Thank you Jesus! It was a great pleasure to be apart of such a great run and I thank you for your kindness. Thank You All Efren J AKA Sonic November 17, 2007 Modesto Fitness & Racquet Club Triathlon
Very Fun & I was glad that my friend Mary from the club talked me into entering the Triathlon. It was a ¼ mille swim, 12 mile bike ride & 3.1 mile run. Much to my surprise, I cam in first in both heats with a time of 1 hour 8 minutes. Ultimately though, I think the fellow in the photo placed far higher then in any level. Brian has a slight handicap & though he wasn't one of the first to come in, he was the first to place a warm feeling in everyone’s heart for that morning's competition. Hurray for Brian! He is proof that their are NO excuses for him when it comes to exercise & giving it a go. God Bless you Brian & keep on Moving! Photo below is of some of his friends cheering him on for the last mile of the Triathlon. Turkey Trot 07
1000 Runners Plus! This Event keeps getting bigger & bigger every year. For me, I have made it into a Tradition for my Thanksgiving morning. Fighting a cold & still very sore from the Triathlon a few days before, I decided to give it a go. Even though I wasn't able to improve my time from my last 5K, The Halloween River Run just a few weeks back. I was able to Improve my time from last years Turkey Trot. 22.33 in 2006 Turkey Trot 2007 21.54 YMCA Christmas Tree Run 5K 12/07
This was my last run for the year! I was so happy to finish out this run with a time of 21.07 beating my time from years Christmas Tree Run by 1.05 WOW That’s huge. I'm thinking that the best part of this run though was going back to the YMCA and seeing all my friends there. I just love the YMCA. It’s a great place to get your start on your way to a healthier lifestyle. 21.07 5K |
